Continuing drug abuse during pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born.

They are able to be in rehab of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their infant.
