Pregnant and postpartum women in Nome that are also drug and/or alcohol addicted not only put their own life at risk, but also put their fetus or newborn at risk of a lot of devastating consequences. The outcome is very grim if expectant mothers and mothers who have just given birth that are involved in drug and alcohol abuse do not seek out and receive proven and workable drug rehab. There are alcohol and drug treatment programs in the Nome area which actually work exclusively with pregnant and women who have just given birth. These kinds of alcohol and drug rehab centers supply all necessary medical treatment and other amenities for expectant mothers and women who have just given birth and their child so that addicts who are also mothers can receive the rehab they must have for their sake and their child's.
