It is really an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers battle with drug use. Often times, the expectant mother is addicted to alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women can offer woman true solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it's born. Within a program for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without the unwanted effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They can continue in rehab of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to stop these circumstances and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother to their baby.
