Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Norway, ME.

The demand for addiction rehab facilities for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with exceptional regards to opioid addicted 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 Norway provide wide spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting off drugs and alcohol possible, allow opioid dependent mothers the transformation into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent newborn children, and get the recovery they need to stay sober during postpartum.

States which offer pregnant and postpartum women with treatment services in lieu of legal penalties, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services support the idea of keeping 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 delivered at these types of rehabilitation programs may include group, individual, and family counseling as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some treatment programs may even offer education and training in parenthood and incorporate trauma-specific services to handle any type of abusive relationships which bring on their substance abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for all family members.

Many women in this position normally need extensive outpatient treatment services, but face many difficulties to their sobriety because of the difficult nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer inpatient and residential care with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living programs with continuing outpatient treatment services available to them including medical services.
