EFFECTS OF DRUG ABUSE ON UNBORN BABIES

Illicit drug use poses risks for pregnant women and their babies. Drugs may contain impurities that can be harmful to an unborn baby. Pregnant women who use drugs may be more likely to harm the fetus with risky behaviors and poor nutrition. Drug use can lead to premature birth or low birth weight. It can also cause the baby to have withdrawal symptoms (sometimes in the form of neonatal abstinence syndrome), birth defects or learning and behavioral problems later in life.

An estimated 14 percent of adults with an illicit substance use disorder reported receiving treatment in the past year. At Gateway, we offer drug treatment programs for all levels of drug addiction. Give us a call at 877.381.6538 to find out how we can help.
