Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Girdwood, AK.

The need for addiction treatment centers for pregnant and postpartum women has never been greater, with special attention to opiate dependent pregnant and postpartum women because cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome have increased from 7 cases per 1,000 admissions to neonatal intensive care units in 2004 to 27 cases per 1,000 admissions in 2013. Rehab facilities provided for pregnant and postpartum women in Girdwood offer a comprehensive range of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol possible, allow opioid dependent mothers a passage into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted newborn children, and obtain the rehabilitation they need to remain clean and sober while postpartum.

States which provide pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services rather than legal penalties, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services support the idea of keeping the family together and maintaining the mother's sobriety in place so that this positively enforces the well-being of the newborns and other children involved. Services offered at such rehabilitation programs might include individual, group, and family counseling as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some programs may even provide education in parenthood and include trauma-specific services to work on any abusive relationships which bring on their drug or alcohol abuse as well as sexual and emotional abuse for all family members.

Most women in this situation normally need extensive outpatient treatment services, but face many challenges to their sobriety because of the difficult nature of being a single parent. Substance abuse rehab programs for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes provide inpatient and residential treatment with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living facilities with continuing outpatient therapy services available to them including medical services.
