It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother had been addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes 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 put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it is born. Within a program for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without unwanted effects that may compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They can continue in rehabilitation long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother for their baby.
