It's an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug use during pregnancy isn't just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. 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 no one wants to get their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it's born. Within a facility for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed with no uncomfortable side effects that could compromise their own health or the health of their infant. They're able to be in rehabilitation of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, to avoid these circumstances and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother for their infant.
