It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug use. Often times, the expectant mother is addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman true solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it's born. Inside a program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They are able to stay in treatment of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances later on so they are a good mother for their baby.
