Abstract

A trauma-informed, multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach has shown improved outcomes for childbearing individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) and their neonates. Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) remains the first-line treatment option. Evidence-based practice should guide practitioners to utilize a variety of interventions, particularly during this vulnerable and medically resource intensive time.

Improving neonatal outcomes: Multidisciplinary treatment approach to caring for pregnant persons with opioid use disorder

Washington, DC, USA

A trauma-informed, multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach has shown improved outcomes for childbearing individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) and their neonates. Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) remains the first-line treatment option. Evidence-based practice should guide practitioners to utilize a variety of interventions, particularly during this vulnerable and medically resource intensive time.
