It's an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers have a problem with drug abuse. Sometimes, the pregnant woman was already addicted to drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant isn't only likely to result in a risky 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 dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Centers for pregnant women can offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a program for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects that may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They're able to continue in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their child.
