It's an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman had been addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman genuine solutions to be able to experience a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy baby when it is born. Inside a program for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They are able to remain in treatment long enough to obtain the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to stop these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their child.
