It's an unfortunate truth that even pregnant women have a problem with drug abuse. Often times, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women may offer woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without unwanted effects that could compromise their health or the health of their infant. They are able to continue in treatment of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their child.
