Expectant mothers and postpartum women in Morton that are also drug and/or alcohol addicted not only put their own lives at risk, but are also putting their unborn or newborn child in jeopardy of a large number of serious consequences. The outcome is very grim when pregnant and postpartum women who choose to stay involved in drug and alcohol abuse do not seek out and obtain proven and workable drug treatment. There are alcohol and drug treatment programs in the Morton area which in fact work exclusively with expectant mothers and women who have just given birth. These sorts of drug and alcohol rehab centers offer all necessary medical care and other necessities for pregnant and women who have just given birth and their babies so that addicts who are also mothers can receive the help they need to have.
