It is really an unfortunate truth that even pregnant women have a problem with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman was already hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug use in pregnancy isn't only going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants 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 or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman true solutions to be able to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. In a program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They are able to remain in treatment of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their child.
