It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother was already dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for pregnant women may offer woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it's born. Within a facility for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed with no unwanted effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They're able to continue in rehabilitation long enough for the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, in order to avoid these situations and circumstances in the long-term so they are a good mother to their infant.
