It is really an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use during pregnancy is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy baby when it is born.
