It is really an unfortunate truth that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman had been hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug use during pregnancy is not only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it is born. In a rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed with no side effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their child. They're able to continue in rehab long enough to obtain the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, to stop these conditions and circumstances in the long-term so they are a good mother to their infant.
