It is really an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. Often times, the expectant mother is addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers can offer woman actual solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy baby when it's born. Within a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without the side effects which may compromise their health or the health of their infant. They can remain in rehabilitation long enough for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother for their infant.
