It is really an unfortunate fact that even pregnant women have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother is already addicted to drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug abuse during pregnancy is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Centers for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it is born. In a center for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They are able to be in treatment of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother for their infant.
