It is really an unfortunate truth that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother was already dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them 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 ultimately a healthy child when it is born. In a facility for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their health or the health of their baby. They're able to stay in treatment of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, in order to avoid these scenarios and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their child.
