It is an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother was already addicted to drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their baby. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can provide woman actual solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. Inside a center for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the side effects that could compromise their health or the health of their baby. They're able to remain in treatment of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their infant.
