It is an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman was already addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse in pregnancy is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be may offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. In a center for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed with no unwanted effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They're able to continue in rehab of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances in the long-term so they can be a good mother for their child.
