It is really an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is already hooked 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 baby. Continuing drug use when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy child when it's born. In a rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without negative effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They are able to continue in treatment of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother to their infant.
