It's an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be have a problem with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is 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 abuse when pregnant is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman true solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it's born. Inside a program for pregnant ladies, women can be easily detoxed without negative effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They can stay in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, to avoid these scenarios and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother for their child.
