It is an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers battle with drug abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman had been hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy child when it is born. In the rehab for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without negative effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They're able to continue in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what prompted it, to stop these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their infant.
