It is really an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers have a problem with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother is dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman genuine solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born. Inside a rehab for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They're able to stay in rehabilitation long enough to obtain the support and care that they must to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, to avoid these situations and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother for their child.
