It is an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be have trouble with drug abuse. Often times, the expectant mother had been hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman real solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. Within a center for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without the unwanted effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their infant. They can stay in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what caused it, to prevent these circumstances and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their child.
