It is an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers battle with drug abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman is already dependent on drugs or alcohol when 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 abuse during pregnancy isn't just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can offer woman actual solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In the center for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without the unwanted effects that may compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to remain in rehab of sufficient length to get the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their child.
