It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the pregnant woman is already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. In the program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They can continue in rehab of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their child.
