Abstract

Substance use disorders affect a significant number of pregnant persons in the USA and are associated with substantial maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Treatment is complex and requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach. Despite this, conventional perinatal medical systems are often without mental health and addiction medicine services and physically separated from established community treatment programs and resources. We outline an example of a multidisciplinary comprehensive care model integrating obstetrics, addiction psychiatry and psychology, neonatology, anesthesiology, social work and case management, established community services and resources, and the local legal system. Challenges with each component of the model are briefly described. Although outcome data is not available, the interdisciplinary clinic described represents a best practice approach based on existing interdisciplinary clinics aimed at improving substance use treatment engagement, maternal outcomes, and neonatal outcomes. Integration of addiction psychiatry/psychology, social work, and community services into prenatal care is crucial in achieving optimal outcomes for pregnant persons who use substances. We hope the recommendations based on identified challenges with establishing this model of care will help with program development across a variety of settings.

Significance

What Is Already Known on This Subject?
Although there are detailed accounts of interdisciplinary clinics focused on pregnant persons with substance use disorders, these authors are not aware of any published program overview that discusses integration of as many varied services for patient care and lessons learned within each specialty.
What This Study Adds?
There is a need for continued attention to best practice in care for pregnant persons with substance use disorders. The present article provides an outline for providers and medical facilities for development of interdisciplinary clinics to meet the needs of this vulnerable patient population.
