It's an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have a problem with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug use in pregnancy is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases instances 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 drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. Within a program for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any side effects which may compromise their health or the health of their child. They can continue in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and just what prompted it, to avoid these scenarios and circumstances in the long-term so they are a good mother for their baby.
