It's an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother is hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use while pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy child when it's born. Inside a facility for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without any side effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They're able to remain in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, in order to avoid these scenarios and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their baby.
