The demand for substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with particular attention to opiate dependent pregnant and postpartum women considering 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. Treatment centers available to pregnant and postpartum women in Swan provide broad range of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting off drugs and alcohol possible, allow opioid addicted mothers and soon to be mothers a passage into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent newborn children, and obtain the treatment they need to remain abstinent while postpartum.
States which offer pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services alternatively to legal consequences, including revocation of their parental rights, have found that these measures support the idea of keeping the family as an unit and keeping the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the welfare of the newborns and other children involved. Services offered at such programs might include group, individual, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some programs may even provide training in parenting and incorporate trauma-specific services to handle any abusive relationships which stimulate their drug or alcohol abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for all family members.
Many women in this position often need extensive outpatient treatment services, but face many challenges to their sobriety because of the complex nature of being a single parent. Substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer inpatient and residential treatment with beds for clients children, and aftercare services to sober living programs with continuing outpatient therapy services available to them including medical services.
