It is really an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have a problem with drug use. In many cases, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can provide woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. In a center for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without unwanted effects which could compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They can continue in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their child.
