It is an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers will offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. In a center for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without any side effects that may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They're able to remain in rehab of sufficient length to get the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their child.
