It's an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman had been hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug use in pregnancy isn't just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for expectant mothers may offer woman genuine solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. In a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the negative effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They're able to be in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother to their baby.
