  • Title: Substance abuse treatment services for pregnant women: psychosocial and behavioral approaches.
    Author: Haug NA, Duffy M, McCaul ME.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 2014 Jun; 41(2):267-96. PubMed ID: 24845490.
    Abstract:
    Women who use tobacco, alcohol and drugs during pregnancy are at increased risk of maternal and fetal morbidity. Universal screening using empirically validated approaches can improve identification of substance-using pregnant women and facilitate comprehensive assessment of treatment needs. There is strong evidence for effectiveness of psychosocial and behavioral substance abuse treatments across a range of intensities and levels of care. In addition to addressing substance use, services for co-occurring psychiatric disorders, trauma exposure, and prenatal care are important components of coordinated systems of care. More research on and greater access to evidence-based interventions is needed for this underserved population.
