It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the pregnant woman was already hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the interest of their child. Continuing drug use when pregnant is not only going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman real solutions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it's born. In a rehab for expectant mothers, women can be safely detoxed without any side effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their infant. They're able to continue in rehab long enough to get the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to stop these situations and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother for their infant.
