It's an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be battle with drug abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is already hooked on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for pregnant women can offer woman actual solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy baby when it is born. In the rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their child. They are able to remain in rehabilitation of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother to their infant.
