It's an unfortunate actuality that even pregnant women have trouble with drug abuse. Often times, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers may offer woman genuine solutions to enable them to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy baby when it is born. In a center for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without side effects which could compromise their own health or the health of their baby. They're able to remain in rehab long enough to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what caused it, to prevent these situations and circumstances later on so they can be a good mother to their infant.
