Course Description

Nearly nine of ten pregnancies among women with OUD are unplanned. It is not uncommon for a woman to have an unplanned pregnancy as her health improves after starting OUD medications and therapy. Only about 50% of women in treatment for OUD and/or other substance use disorders are using contraception. Discussing family planning options with women with OUD and making these options available to them when they begin treatment can reduce unplanned pregnancies. (SAMHSA, 2018).
