It is really an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy isn't just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can provide woman actual solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it is born. In a program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed with no negative effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to remain in rehab long enough to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their baby.
