Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in pregnant and parenting individuals creates an additional risk for opioid-related death. Pregnant individuals diagnosed with OUD at the time of delivery were found to be 4.6 times more likely to die during hospitalization. Prevention and early intervention are crucial to ensuring comprehensive care that improves outcomes for pregnant individuals and their families.
As a provider offering either prenatal or postpartum care, you can increase your ability to recognize OUD and provide optimal treatment for pregnant and parenting individuals and their babies. By utilizing a family-centered, empowering, and culturally relevant approach, you can build a more trusting and empowering relationship with pregnant individuals facing OUD.
Join our ECHO to learn best practices for treatment, identify helpful community resources, and collaborate with a panel of Maternal Child Health and Addiction Medicine specialists and your peers. Together, we can help ensure that mothers in New Jersey can give birth safely with the treatment and support they receive within their community.
