It's an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with drug use. Often times, the pregnant woman is already addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug use when pregnant is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. In the rehab for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the unwanted effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They're able to remain in rehabilitation long enough for the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, to stop these scenarios and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their child.
