It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have a problem with substance abuse. Often times, the expectant mother is dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant isn't only going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. Within a facility for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without any unwanted effects that may compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They can be in rehabilitation long enough for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their infant.
