Expectant mothers and women who have just given birth in Jackson that are also drug and/or alcohol addicted are not only putting their own lives at risk, but are also putting their unborn or newborn child at risk of a large number of serious consequences. The final result is grim if expectant mothers and postpartum women who choose to stay involved in drug and alcohol abuse do not seek out and receive effective alcohol and drug rehab. There are drug rehabilitation programs in the Jackson area which actually work exclusively with pregnant and postpartum women. These sorts of drug treatment centers provide all essential medical treatment and other amenities for expectant mothers and postpartum women and their children so that addicted mothers can receive the rehabilitation they require.
