It's an unfortunate fact that even pregnant women battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother had been addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse in pregnancy isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can offer woman genuine solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it's born. In the facility for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their health or the health of their infant. They are able to continue in rehab of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to stop these scenarios and circumstances in the long-term so they are a good mother for their child.
