It is an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with drug abuse. Often times, the pregnant woman had been addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing substance abuse in pregnancy isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for mothers-to-be may offer woman actual solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it is born. Within a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without any unwanted effects that could compromise their own health or the health of their child. They are able to stay in rehabilitation of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what caused it, to avoid these scenarios and circumstances in the long-term so they can be a good mother for their baby.
