It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be have trouble with drug use. Sometimes, the pregnant woman was already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not just likely 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 under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can provide woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it is born. In a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without unwanted effects that could compromise their health or the health of their child. They're able to stay in rehab of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, to prevent these situations and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother to their infant.
