It is really an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman was already addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their baby. Continuing drug use while pregnant is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. In a facility for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the side effects that may compromise their health or the health of their infant. They're able to stay in rehabilitation of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to stop these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their child.
