It is really an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have a problem with substance abuse. Sometimes, the pregnant woman is dependent on alcohol or drugs whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their baby. Continuing drug use in pregnancy is not just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but could also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't stop 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 expectant mothers may offer woman true solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born. Within a rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the negative effects which could compromise their own health or the well-being of their child. They're able to stay in treatment long enough to receive the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction as well as what caused it, to stop these conditions and circumstances in the future so they are a good mother to their child.
