It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with drug abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman real solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. Within a program for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without unwanted effects which may compromise their health or the health of their child. They are able to be in treatment of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances in the long-term so they can be a good mother to their infant.
