Substance use disorder (SUD) is a disease like any other. That means, like any other disease, you have to take care of your health to support your growing child. That’s hard to do with addiction.
Unlike many other diseases, SUD doesn’t have a simple solution. It involves treating your physical and mental health in a cohesive way. With the guidance of a trusted, pregnancy-focused SUD treatment program, you can get help.
If you are facing addiction while pregnant, do not wait to contact Anabranch Recovery Center. We offer comprehensive treatment programs designed specifically to help you navigate the challenges you are uniquely facing.
You Know the Risks: Let’s Focus on Treatment Options
We’ve previously talked about the dangers of drug abuse during pregnancy. If you’re already reading this, you know there are risks, and you’re ready to get treatment to prevent those complications. What do you do now?
Your first step is to turn to a pregnancy-specific substance use disorder treatment center. When you decide to work with Anabranch Recovery Center, we’ll provide very specific care designed to support your needs, reduce the risks to your child, and create a healthy future. Here is what to expect during our drug treatment program during pregnancy.
Safe Detox
One of the most challenging aspects of SUDs is the withdrawal process. Every person can face intense symptoms when they suddenly stop using a substance. Our goal is to provide a safe, medically monitored environment through the detoxification process. That means:
- We monitor you and your baby 24/7 with medical professionals available who can handle virtually any emergency should something happen.
- Provide you with physical care for any ailments or medical conditions you have related to the SUD while also ensuring your child gets prenatal care and support.
- Provide you with holistic and other safe methods to reduce pain and discomfort, giving you every opportunity to break the hold that addiction has without causing harm to yourself or your child.
The detoxification process takes several days. You’ll be comfortable and supported throughout the process. You’ll also start working with a therapist. You’re no longer alone in this process. We’re here to help.
Residential Inpatient Treatment
The next step in your journey is a 28-day residential treatment program. Your care plan will fit the symptoms and complications you have from your SUD. That includes providing you with reliable support for mental health conditions you may also be facing. Our goal is always to provide support for both you and the child while also working through the cause and impact of your addiction. Expect treatment to include:
- Individual counseling with a therapist. Individualized counseling typically includes cognitive-behavioral therapy and other strategies tailored to your unique needs.
- Group therapy to help you learn about your addiction, the cause of it, and the road you’re facing ahead. Group therapy is one of the best resources for learning how to manage stress and improve your overall ability to thrive.
- Mental health treatment is available to you if you are also facing conditions such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. We’ll work with you to adjust medications and provide real, effective strategies for healing.
During your care with our team, we’ll address the specific needs you have due to the type of addiction you have. We follow all recommended treatment protocols set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while also incorporating holistic care to support your well-being.
Additional Care We Provide for Addiction Treatment During Pregnancy
You can also expect our team to work closely with you to meet other needs during your treatment program. That includes:
- Transportation to and from your local OB/GYN appointments. That ensures you can meet all of your prenatal care needs.
- Postpartum relapse prevention treatment. We’ll work with you to create a plan not just for right now but for the future, allowing you to build a healthy life for you and your family after childbirth.
- Support for emotional and behavioral health needs throughout the process, including through anger management support, overcoming codependency, and emotional regulation strategies.
- Medication management is available to help you navigate cravings and addiction demands while you are pregnant, as well as afterward, when you give birth.
- Parenting skill development is at the heart of what we do. We allow you to learn how to care for your child. That includes parenting skills, stress management, acceptance, and self-awareness.
Through each of these processes and steps, including aftercare planning, our objective is to help you live the life you desire. There is no single strategy for doing that. Every person needs care that’s tailored to their past and future.
