Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ottawa, OH.

The need for substance abuse rehabilitation programs for pregnant and postpartum women has never been greater, with special attention to opioid dependent 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. Rehab facilities available to pregnant and postpartum women in Ottawa provide wide spectrum of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol a reality, allow opioid addicted mothers and soon to be mothers a passage into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-opioid dependent infants, and get the treatment they need to stay abstinent while postpartum.

States which offer pregnant and postpartum mothers with treatment services rather than legal penalties, such as revocation of their parental rights, have found that these types of services sustain the idea of maintaining the family together and maintaining the mother's abstinence and sobriety in place so that this positively enforces the welfare of the infants and other children involved. Services provided 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 include trauma-specific services to address any abusive relationships which trigger their drug or alcohol abuse as well as sexual and emotional abuse for everyone in the family.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for pregnant and postpartum women often offer inpatient and residential care with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living programs with continuing outpatient therapy services available to them including healthcare services.
