It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers battle with drug use. Sometimes, the pregnant woman had been addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants 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 or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be may offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it's born. Within a program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without the unwanted effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their infant. They are able to stay in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to avoid these circumstances and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their baby.
