It is really an unfortunate truth that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman is already dependent on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant is not just likely to result in a dangerous 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 simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers will offer woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. In the rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the side effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They're able to stay in rehabilitation long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their child.
