Pregnant and Postpartum Women - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Portsmouth, VA.

The demand for drug and alcohol rehab programs for pregnant and postpartum women has never been greater, with special attention to opioid dependent pregnant and postpartum women because 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 Portsmouth provide a comprehensive range of services, non-punitive in nature, to make abstinence from drugs and alcohol possible, allow opioid dependent mothers and soon to be mothers a passage into a sober and healthy pregnancy with non-addicted infants, and get the treatment they need to remain sober while 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 support the idea of maintaining the family together and maintaining the mother's abstinence in place so that this positively enforces the well-being of the newborns and other children involved. Services provided at such programs might 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 substance abuse as well as sexual and emotional abuse for all family members.

Most women in this position usually require comprehensive outpatient treatment services, but face many difficulties to their sobriety due to the difficult nature of being a single parent or sole caregiver. Substance abuse rehab facilities for pregnant and postpartum women sometimes offer inpatient and residential treatment with beds for clients children, and transition services to sober living programs with continuing outpatient treatment services available to them including medical services.
