It is really an unfortunate actuality that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman is already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not only going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers can offer woman actual solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born. Inside a program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed with no uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their health or the health of their infant. They are able to remain in rehabilitation long enough to obtain the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what caused it, to stop these scenarios and circumstances later on so they are a good mother for their child.
