It is really an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug use. Sometimes, the expectant mother is hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug abuse during pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women may offer woman genuine solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born. In a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without unwanted effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They are able to stay in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to avoid these scenarios and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their child.
