It is really an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug 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 child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for expectant mothers may offer woman true solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it is born. In the rehab for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their infant. They can continue in rehab of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their child.
