It's an unfortunate reality that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman had been dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing drug abuse in pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't stop their drug abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to get their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be can offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and consequently a healthy infant when it's born.
