Should pregnant women who use drugs still undergo addiction treatment?
Question:
Answers:
Oh my gosh, I hope your friend isn't pregnant. Even if she isn't though, I suggest that she undergo addiction treatment soon. If she's indeed pregnant, there's a risk that her baby will have low birth weight when delivered. Her chances for miscarriage are also higher. She can undergo methadone treatments and detoxification, as this is advisable for pregnant women. However, the baby will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms afterwards, which will have to be treated soon. Consult a doctor immediately regarding this so that your friend can get herself properly checked up on. Good luck!
The baby's chances of defects and chronic illnesses are greater if she remains on heroine. She needs to go to detox now and consult a physician. The physician will likely consult a specialist and only the medical doctors will really be able to answer questions accurately about what effects the treatment could have on the fetus.
Good luck to her! It's nice she has you to care!
