It's an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother had been hooked on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be can offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it is born. Inside a center for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without side effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their child.
