It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother had been dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse while pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. 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 get their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can provide woman actual solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. Inside a center for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed with no uncomfortable side effects that may compromise their health or the health of their child. They're able to be in treatment long enough to receive the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their baby.
