It is an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women have a problem with drug abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol 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 taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Centers for mothers-to-be may offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. Inside a center for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without any unwanted effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They are able to stay in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to prevent these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their infant.
