Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Denmark, NY.

The need for substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women is very high, with particular attention 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 Denmark provide a comprehensive spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting clean from drugs and alcohol feasible, ensure opioid addicted mothers and soon to be mothers a passage into a drug free and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted newborn children, and receive the rehabilitation they need to remain clean and sober during postpartum.

States that offer pregnant and postpartum women with rehab services in lieu of legal penalties, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services sustain the idea of keeping the family as an unit and keeping the mother's abstinence and sobriety in place so that this positively enforces the well-being of the infants and other children involved. Services offered at these types of programs might involve individual, group, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care.
