The demand for drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with special regards to opioid addicted 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. Treatment centers offered to pregnant and postpartum women in Augusta offer a comprehensive spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting off drugs and alcohol possible, allow opioid addicted mothers transition into a drug free and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted infants, and receive the rehabilitation they need to remain clean and sober while postpartum.
States which offer pregnant and postpartum mothers with rehab services in lieu of legal consequences, such as 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 well-being of the infants and other children involved. Services offered at such programs may include individual, group, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some rehab centers may even provide education and training in parenting and incorporate trauma-specific services to handle any type of abusive relationships which bring on their drug or alcohol abuse as well as sexual and emotional abuse for all family members.
Many women in this situation often need extensive outpatient treatment services, yet face many difficulties to their sobriety because of the difficult nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse rehab programs for pregnant and postpartum women often provide inpatient and residential care with beds for clients children, and aftercare services to sober living programs with ongoing outpatient therapy services available to them including medical services.
