It is really an unfortunate reality that even pregnant women battle with drug use. In many cases, the pregnant woman had been hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit. Facilities for expectant mothers may offer woman actual solutions to be able to experience a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy child when it's born. In the rehab for mothers-to-be, women can be easily detoxed without the negative effects that may compromise their own health or the well-being of their infant. They can continue in treatment long enough to get the support and care that they need to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, to prevent these circumstances and circumstances down the road so they are a good mother to their baby.
