It's an unfortunate actuality that even pregnant women battle with drug abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman is already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman genuine solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. In a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the side effects that may compromise their health or the health of their child. They're able to remain in treatment long enough to receive the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these circumstances and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their infant.
