Programs provided for pregnant and postpartum women in Bethesda provide broad spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make getting clean from drugs and alcohol a reality, allow opioid dependent mothers transition into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent newborn children, and obtain the recovery they need to remain sober while postpartum.

States which offer pregnant and postpartum mothers with rehab services alternatively to legal penalties, including 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 welfare of the newborns and other children involved. Services offered at such rehabilitation programs may involve individual, group, and family therapy as well as prenatal and postpartum care.
