Pregnancy and Postpartum-Focused Substance Use Care

ARC Karen’s Place Maternity Center provides substance use treatment for pregnant and postpartum women in a women-only environment. Clients can receive residential care with 24/7 support, with additional step-down levels of care available as needs change. The program is also designed to support early parenting, and mothers are able to live with their babies while in treatment as they build routines and stability.

Medical Stabilization and Whole-Person Support

The facility provides assessment and medical stabilization services to help clients start treatment safely. Services include a physical exam and comprehensive assessments for substance use and mental health needs. The facility also provides screening and testing, including infectious disease testing. For clients who may benefit, the facility provides access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) as part of care, and it also offers mental health services and integrated primary care support.

Treatment includes individual and group counseling, with family and couples counseling available. The facility provides therapy approaches focused on building coping skills and reducing relapse risk, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, contingency management, anger management, trauma-related counseling, relapse prevention planning, and 12-step work. Peer support is also part of the experience, including mentoring, recovery coaching, and self-help group participation.

Parenting, Education, and Work Readiness

Alongside clinical care, the program emphasizes practical skills that can support long-term stability. The facility provides life skills development and educational support, including vocational training and employment counseling. Parenting-focused learning is also part of the program, including neonatal care skills to help mothers feel more prepared for day-to-day caregiving.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
