It is really an unfortunate actuality that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman was already addicted to drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant is not just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug or alcohol use during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can provide woman actual solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. Inside a facility for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without the uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They are able to remain in rehab long enough to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what caused it, to prevent these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their baby.
