Perinatal Substance Use Disorders Treatment

N C Med J. 2020 Jan-Feb;81(1):36-40. doi: 10.18043/ncm.81.1.36.

Abstract

North Carolina has been at the forefront of offering treatment for perinatal substance use disorders for over 25 years. Wraparound services, understanding of the fourth trimester, the importance of medication-assisted treatment, and learning from past false predictions regarding illicit prenatal exposure contribute to a nurturing, supportive approach for the mother, child, and families.
