It's an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother had been addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only 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 dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for pregnant women may offer woman genuine solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it is born. Within a facility for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without any side effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They can remain in treatment long enough for the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what prompted it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their infant.
