It is an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers have a problem with drug use. Often times, the expectant mother is hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the interest of their baby. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman real solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy child when it is born. Inside a program for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without the side effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their baby. They are able to be in treatment long enough to obtain the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what caused it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother to their child.
