It's an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman had been dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug abuse while pregnant isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. Inside a center for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They are able to continue in rehabilitation of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother to their child.
