Little is known about treatment for pregnant and postpartum women with cooccurring substance use and depression. Funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, we conducted three focus groups with 18 pregnant and postpartum women in 2011 at an urban substance use treatment clinic. A semi-structured discussion guide probed for factors impacting treatment outcomes and needs. Data were analyzed using grounded theory. Women identified motivational, family, friend, romantic, and agency characteristics as facilitative or challenging to their recoveries, and desired structure( group treatment, a safe environment, and transportation) and content( attention to mental health, family, and gender-specific issues) of treatment.
