It's an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women battle with substance abuse. Often times, the expectant mother is already dependent on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes 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 in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be may offer woman actual solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. In the center for expectant mothers, women can be easily detoxed without any unwanted effects which could compromise their health or the well-being of their child. They are able to stay in rehabilitation of sufficient length to receive the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and what prompted it, to prevent these scenarios and circumstances down the road so they can be a good mother for their child.
