It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with drug abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is already dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers will offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. In a facility for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed with no side effects that may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They're able to stay in rehab of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and just what caused it, to avoid these situations and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their child.
