Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shields, ND.

The need for drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for pregnant and postpartum women has never been greater, with particular regards 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. Programs provided for pregnant and postpartum women in Shields offer a comprehensive spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol a reality, ensure opioid dependent mothers transition into a clean and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted infants, and receive the rehabilitation they need to remain abstinent while 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 maintaining the family as an unit and keeping the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the welfare of the infants and other children involved. Services offered at such programs might include individual, group, and family counseling as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some treatment programs may even provide training in parenthood and include trauma-specific services to address any type of abusive relationships which stimulate their substance abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for everyone in the family.

Many women in this position usually require comprehensive outpatient treatment services, yet face many challenges to their sobriety because of the complex nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for pregnant and postpartum women often offer residential and inpatient care with beds for clients children, and aftercare services to sober living facilities with continuing outpatient therapy services offered to them including healthcare services.
