It is really an unfortunate actuality that even pregnant women have a problem with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly 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 stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be can offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it is born. Within a center for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the negative effects which may compromise their health or the health of their child. They can continue in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, to stop these conditions and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their infant.
