Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Pleasant, IA.

The demand for substance abuse treatment centers for pregnant and postpartum women has never been greater, with special regards to opiate dependent pregnant and postpartum women since cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome have risen from 7 cases per 1,000 admissions to neonatal intensive care units in 2004 to 27 cases per 1,000 admissions in 2013. Programs available to pregnant and postpartum women in Mount Pleasant provide a comprehensive range of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol possible, ensure opioid addicted mothers transition into a drug free and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent newborn children, and get the recovery they need to remain sober while postpartum.

States which provide pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services alternatively to legal penalties, including revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services support the idea of keeping the family as an unit and keeping the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the well-being of the infants and other children involved. Services provided at such programs may involve individual, group, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some programs may even provide education in parenthood and incorporate trauma-specific services to address any type of abusive relationships which stimulate their drug or alcohol abuse as well as sexual and emotional abuse for all family members.

Many women in this situation often require extensive outpatient treatment services, yet face many difficulties to their sobriety because of the complex nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer inpatient and residential treatment with beds for clients children, and aftercare services to sober living facilities with ongoing outpatient therapy services offered to them including medical services.
