It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with drug use. In many cases, the pregnant woman was already hooked on drugs or alcohol 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 substance abuse during pregnancy is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies 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 or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman true solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. In the program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their child. They can be in treatment of sufficient length for the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances later on so they are a good mother for their baby.
