It is an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women may offer woman real solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born. Within a facility for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed with no side effects which could compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They can stay in rehabilitation of sufficient length for the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to stop these scenarios and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother for their child.
