It is an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women battle with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother was already dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for pregnant women will offer woman actual solutions so that they can experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. In a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without side effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their child. They're able to stay in rehab long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, to avoid these situations and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their child.
