It's an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother had been hooked on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use in pregnancy isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Facilities for pregnant women may offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it's born.
