It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be have a problem with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman was already addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. In the rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed with no unwanted effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They're able to remain in rehabilitation of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to stop these scenarios and circumstances in the long-term so they can be a good mother for their child.
