It's an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. Often times, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug use while pregnant is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for pregnant women may offer woman actual solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. In the rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without unwanted effects that could compromise their health or the health of their infant. They are able to stay in rehabilitation of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their infant.
