It is an unfortunate reality that even mothers-to-be have a problem with drug use. Often times, the pregnant woman had been dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also significantly 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 because they didn't stop their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be can offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it's born. Within a program for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without side effects that could compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to continue in treatment of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what prompted it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother to their child.
