It is really an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the pregnant woman is addicted to alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug use during pregnancy isn't only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Facilities for mothers-to-be can offer woman genuine solutions in order to experience a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy infant when it is born. Within a program for mothers-to-be, women can be safely detoxed without the unwanted effects which may compromise their own health or the health of their child. They can stay in treatment long enough to receive the support and care that they must to understand their addiction and what prompted it, to stop these situations and circumstances later on so they are a good mother to their baby.
