It's an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the pregnant woman is dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant isn't only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but can also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman genuine solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it's born. Within a rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without any uncomfortable side effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their infant. They can continue in rehab of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these conditions and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother for their infant.
