It's an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman was already hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby 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 child when it is born. In a facility for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without side effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to remain in rehabilitation long enough to get the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their child.
