It is an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother was already hooked on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for pregnant women will offer woman true solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it's born. Within a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without unwanted effects that may compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They are able to stay in rehabilitation long enough to obtain the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their child.
