It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman was already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just likely 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 alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman real solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it's born. Within a rehab for pregnant women, women can be easily detoxed without any negative effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their infant. They're able to continue in treatment of sufficient length to obtain the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what prompted it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother for their baby.
