It is really an unfortunate actuality that even mothers-to-be battle with drug use. Quite often, the expectant mother had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Centers for expectant mothers may offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the negative effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They can continue in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, in order to avoid these circumstances and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their baby.
