The need for drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with special regards to opioid dependent pregnant and postpartum women because 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 provided for pregnant and postpartum women in St. Petersburg provide a comprehensive spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting clean from drugs and alcohol feasible, allow opioid addicted mothers the transformation into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted infants, and get the rehabilitation they need to remain clean and sober during 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 measures sustain the idea of maintaining the family as an unit and maintaining the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively impact's the welfare of the newborns and other children involved. Services delivered at such programs may include individual, group, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some treatment programs may even offer training in parenting and include trauma-specific services to work on any type of abusive relationships which trigger their drug or alcohol abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for all family members.
Many women in this situation usually need comprehensive outpatient treatment services, yet face many difficulties to their sobriety because of the complex nature of being a single parent. Substance abuse treatment facilities for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer residential and inpatient care with beds for clients children, and aftercare services to sober living programs with continuing outpatient therapy services offered to them including medical services.
