One
of the best opportunities we have to approach and intervene with
the
substance-using woman is when she is pregnant. The child's birth
may give her a powerful motive to seek treatment for her addiction.
Early intervention efforts during the prenatal period increase the
likelihood that she will successfully recover from alcohol and other
drug abuse. It is equally important to provide the pregnant, substance-using woman with optimal, comprehensive obstetrical care. The results of prenatal drug exposure are well documented and can include intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity and low birth weight, central nervous system damage, and congenital physical malformations, among others. A continuum of followup services is a third critical element for an improved quality of life for the substance-using woman and her family. She often lives in a stressful environment that may include physical and sexual abuse, single parenthood, and limited financial and social support. Interventions during the postnatal period are needed to help her successfully parent her child, abstain from the use of alcohol and other drugs, and address complex social needs. |
