It is really an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing substance abuse in pregnancy is not only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but could also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can provide woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born.
