It is an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother is already addicted to drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug use during pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can offer woman true solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. Within a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the side effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They're able to stay in treatment of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother for their child.
