It is really an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug use in pregnancy is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman actual solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. In a program for pregnant ladies, women can be safely detoxed without side effects that may compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to remain in rehabilitation long enough to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and just what prompted it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother for their child.
