It's an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the pregnant woman was already addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and 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 just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it's born. In a facility for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any unwanted effects that may compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They can remain in rehab long enough to obtain the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to stop these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their baby.
