Yes. Any drug withdrawal during a pregnancy should be done under the careful supervision of your obstetrician. It is not advisable to go it alone because you can harm yourself and the baby this way. Depending on what substance you are withdrawing from, this can actually turn life threatening. THe best course of action in this situation is to get medical assistance.
