Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dexter, ME.

The need for addiction rehabilitation facilities for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with special 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 offered to pregnant and postpartum women in Dexter provide broad spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting off drugs and alcohol a reality, ensure opioid dependent mothers and soon to be mothers a passage into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent newborn children, and obtain the rehabilitation they need to stay sober during postpartum.

States which provide pregnant and postpartum mothers with rehab services alternatively to legal consequences, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these measures support the idea of keeping the family together and maintaining the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the well-being of the infants and other children involved. Services provided at such rehabilitation programs may involve individual, group, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some programs may even provide education in parenting and incorporate trauma-specific services to handle any type of abusive relationships which trigger their substance abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for all family members.

Most women in this position normally need comprehensive outpatient treatment services, yet face many challenges to their sobriety due to the difficult nature of being a single parent. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer residential and inpatient treatment with beds for clients children, and aftercare services to sober living facilities with continuing outpatient therapy services available to them including medical services.
