It's an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women can offer woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. Within a program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed with no uncomfortable side effects that may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They can be in rehabilitation long enough for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to stop these conditions and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their baby.
