It is really an unfortunate actuality that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother had been dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not 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 dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can provide woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. In a rehab for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without any unwanted effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to stay in rehabilitation of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to stop these conditions and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their child.
