The need for substance abuse treatment facilities for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with exceptional 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. Programs offered to pregnant and postpartum women in Leon offer broad spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol a reality, allow opioid dependent mothers and soon to be mothers the transformation into a clean and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent newborn children, and receive the treatment they need to remain clean and sober during postpartum.
States that provide pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services in lieu of 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 sobriety 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 treatment programs may even offer education and training in parenting and include trauma-specific services to handle any abusive relationships which trigger their drug or alcohol abuse as well as sexual and emotional abuse for all family members.
Many women in this position normally require extensive outpatient treatment services, but face many challenges to their sobriety due to the complex nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women often offer inpatient and residential treatment with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living programs with continuing outpatient treatment services available to them including medical services.
