It's an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be have a problem with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother was already hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant ladies may offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. In a program for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They are able to be in rehabilitation long enough to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these scenarios and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their baby.
