Although many women can remain drug- and alcohol-free while pregnant, relapse can happen after the baby is born. An aftercare program for pregnant women and new mothers should include the following elements: Counseling sessions with a therapist Medication treatment Transitional housing in a sober community Participation in 12-Step programs or community support groups Participating in alumni groups with colleagues who have completed their rehabilitation Providing links to postnatal care, daycare, inexpensive housing, transportation, and occupational or educational advice for pregnant women and mothers.
