It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. Sometimes, the pregnant woman had been hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug use during pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also drastically 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 stop their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. In the rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without the negative effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to remain in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their baby.
