It is really an unfortunate actuality that even mothers-to-be have trouble with drug abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother is already hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. In the program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without any negative effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They are able to remain in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their baby.
