Pregnancy and Substance Abuse

  • Chapter
Book cover Psychiatric Disorders in Pregnancy and the Postpartum

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Practice ((CCP))

Abstract

Knowledge of substance use disorders is essential for health care providers treating pregnant women. Early intervention is vital to improve the health and welfare of both the mother and child. This chapter provides an overview of the consequences and treatments of maternal substance use disorders during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Effective techniques for assessment and intervention are reviewed, as well as psychosocial problems that often accompany maternal substance abuse. Information about various illicit drugs is presented along with strategies for managing withdrawal symptoms. This chapter also outlines potential short- and long-term effects on the child from drug exposure during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Reporting and legal issues are addressed for cases of drug- and/or alcohol-dependent women who present late in pregnancy or who do not respond to available treatments before delivery.
