It is an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother is already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their baby. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can 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 simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be can provide woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. In a facility for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without any unwanted effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to stay in rehabilitation long enough to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their infant.
