It is really an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug use. Quite often, the expectant mother had been addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman true solutions to enable them to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy child when it is born. Inside a center for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without side effects that may compromise their own health or the health of their infant. They are able to remain in rehab long enough to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to avoid these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their infant.
