It's an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother had been hooked on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn dealing with drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it is born.
