It is an unfortunate fact that even pregnant women have a problem with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother had been hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but could also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody 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 no one wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Centers for mothers-to-be may offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. Within a program for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed with no side effects that could compromise their health or the health of their infant. They are able to be in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction as well as what prompted it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their infant.
