It's an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug use. In many cases, the expectant mother had been dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman actual solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. Inside a facility for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without any unwanted effects that may compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They can be in treatment long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to stop these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother for their baby.
