At Valley Forge Medical Center, we recognize that pregnant women facing substance use challenges require specialized, compassionate care. That’s why we prioritize these patients, ensuring they receive preferential treatment with a holistic, integrated approach that safeguards both maternal and fetal health.
Our program isn’t just about addressing immediate medical concerns—it’s about empowering expectant mothers with the tools they need for lasting recovery, stability, and a healthy future for themselves and their babies.
A Tailored Approach: Comprehensive Support for Expectant Mothers
Pregnancy is a delicate time, and for women struggling with substance use, it can also be overwhelming. At Valley Forge Medical Center, we bridge the gap between medical care and addiction recovery with an interdisciplinary team of:
- Addiction Medicine Physicians – Providing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate
- Licensed Therapists & Counselors – Addressing trauma, mental health disorders, and emotional well-being
- Case Managers & Social Workers – Assisting with aftercare planning, housing, and essential resources
- Nutritionists & Wellness Experts – Supporting a healthy pregnancy through diet and lifestyle coaching
By integrating these services, we reduce risks associated with substance use during pregnancy while also helping mothers regain stability in their lives.
Substance Use Treatment: Safe, Medically Supervised Care
We understand that quitting substances suddenly can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. That’s why our program is built on a foundation of evidence-based substance use treatment, including:
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – Safe, monitored options to manage withdrawal and cravings
- 24/7 Medical Supervision – Continuous monitoring to ensure maternal and fetal health
- Trauma-Informed Care – Recognizing that addiction is often rooted in past trauma and offering compassionate, non-judgmental support
- Group & Individual Therapy – Healing through shared experiences and personal counseling
Our goal is not just detox but sustainable recovery, allowing mothers to focus on long-term wellness while ensuring the best possible start for their newborns.
Comprehensive Counseling & Mental Health Services
Many women who come to Valley Forge Medical Center face more than just substance use—they often struggle with underlying mental health challenges, including:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety & Depression
- Domestic Violence Survivorship
- Loss & Grief Processing
Through one-on-one therapy, group counseling, and family counseling sessions, we help expectant mothers develop healthy coping mechanisms and resilience as they move forward in their recovery journey.
Aftercare Planning: A Foundation for Long-Term Success
Recovery doesn’t stop when a mother leaves our care. To ensure continuity of support, we create personalized aftercare plans that include:
- Medical Appointments – setting up mothers and their babies for success by supporting the continuum of care
- Outpatient Treatment & Follow-Up Therapy – Ongoing counseling to maintain sobriety
- Housing & Employment Resources – Helping mothers secure stable environments for themselves and their babies
- Community Support Networks – Connecting patients to peer recovery groups and parenting programs
We believe no mother should have to face recovery alone, and our aftercare programs ensure that every woman has access to the resources she needs long after she leaves our facility.

At Valley Forge Medical Center, we don’t just treat addiction—we restore hope, rebuild lives, and create opportunities for expectant mothers. By providing preferential treatment for pregnant women, we ensure that both the mother and baby receive the highest standard of care—physically, emotionally, and socially.
