It's an unfortunate fact that even pregnant women have a problem with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother is already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the interest of their baby. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant isn't just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but could also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can offer woman actual solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it is born. Inside a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without the unwanted effects which may compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They're able to remain in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their infant.
