It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be have a problem with drug use. Often times, the pregnant woman had been hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not just going to result in a risky pregnancy, but tends to also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn going through alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse during their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers will offer woman real solutions so that they can have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy infant when it is born. In a program for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed with no uncomfortable side effects which may compromise their health or the well-being of their infant. They can stay in rehab of sufficient length to get the support and care that they need to understand their addiction as well as what prompted it, in order to avoid these conditions and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their infant.
