It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with drug use. Sometimes, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers will offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. In a program for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They can continue in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother to their baby.
