It is an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug use during pregnancy is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. Within a program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed with no side effects which could compromise their health or the health of their baby. They can remain in rehabilitation long enough to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their infant.
