It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers will offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed with no side effects which could compromise their health or the health of their child. They can stay in rehab of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother for their baby.
