It's an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers battle with drug use. In many cases, the expectant mother had been dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can provide woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. In a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the unwanted effects that may compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They can continue in rehab of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their infant.
