It is an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman is already addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug use during pregnancy isn't just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman true solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy baby when it's born. In a program for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects that may compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They can be in rehab long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother for their infant.
