White Worms Coming Out of My Indoor Plant Soil

I have a broad leaf indoor plant that I potted a few months ago. I am now seeing little white worms, about 1/4 inch long, coming out from the drain hole underneath the pot. What are these things? Are they bad for the plant, and if so, how do I get rid of them? Is there a treatment I can buy to avoid re-potting?
