It is an unfortunate truth that even pregnant women have a problem with drug abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug abuse during pregnancy isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it's born. Within a facility for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without unwanted effects that could compromise their health or the health of their child. They can be in rehab of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to stop these situations and circumstances in the long-term so they can be a good mother to their infant.
