It is really an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse in pregnancy is not 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 dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women can offer woman actual solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it is born. Inside a facility for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without the unwanted effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They're able to stay in rehab of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother for their baby.
