It is an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with drug abuse. Often times, the expectant mother is already dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. Within a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without side effects which may compromise their health or the health of their infant. They are able to remain in rehab of sufficient length for the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these circumstances and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their infant.
