It is really an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug use. In many cases, the expectant mother had been dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug abuse while pregnant isn't just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be can offer woman real solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. In a program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without side effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their child. They are able to be in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances in the long-term so they can be a good mother for their baby.
