It's an unfortunate fact that even pregnant women have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother had been hooked on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it's born. Within a center for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without any negative effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their child. They're able to continue in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother to their baby.
