It is really an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother is hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug use in pregnancy is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions to be able to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. Within a facility for pregnant ladies, women can be easily detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They're able to continue in rehabilitation long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their infant.
