Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Pauls, NC.

Treatment centers provided for pregnant and postpartum women in St. Pauls offer wide range 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-opioid dependent newborn children, and get the recovery they need to remain clean and sober during postpartum.

States which provide pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services alternatively to legal penalties, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services sustain the idea of maintaining the family as an unit and maintaining the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the welfare of the newborns and other children involved. Services offered at these types of programs may involve individual, group, and family counseling as well as prenatal and postpartum care. Some programs may even provide education and training in parenting and include trauma-specific services to handle any type of abusive relationships which stimulate their substance abuse as well as emotional and sexual abuse for all family members.
