Rehab facilities offered to pregnant and postpartum women in DHS provide wide spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol feasible, allow opioid dependent mothers and soon to be mothers a passage into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted infants, and receive the recovery they need to remain abstinent during postpartum.
States that offer pregnant and postpartum mothers with rehab services rather than legal consequences, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these measures sustain the idea of keeping the family as an unit and keeping the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively impact's the welfare of the newborns and other children involved. Services offered at such rehabilitation programs may include individual, group, and family counseling as well as prenatal and postpartum care.
