Women who are expecting and postpartum women in Honokaa that are also drug and/or alcohol addicted are not only putting their own life at risk, but are also putting their unborn or newborn child in jeopardy of many severe consequences. The outcome is very grim if expectant mothers and women who have just given birth who choose to stay involved in substance abuse do not seek out and receive effective drug treatment. There are alcohol and drug treatment facilities in the Honokaa area which specifically work exclusively with pregnant and women who have just given birth. These kinds of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities provide all essential medical care and other necessities for pregnant and mothers who have just given birth and their children so that these mothers can obtain the treatment they desperately need.
