It's an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman is dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug use when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Rehabs for expectant mothers may offer woman true solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without the side effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their baby. They are able to continue in rehab long enough for the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their baby.
