It's an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers battle with drug use. Often times, the expectant mother is already dependent 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 baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman true solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. In the facility for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without negative effects which could compromise their health or the health of their baby. They are able to be in rehab 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 in the future so they are a good mother to their child.
