It is really an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother was already addicted to alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Centers for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. In the program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed with no unwanted effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their infant. They can continue in treatment of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what prompted it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their baby.
