Continuing substance abuse in pregnancy is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women can provide woman real solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a facility for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without the side effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They can continue in treatment of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to stop these circumstances and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their infant.
