Medication-assisted Treatment for Opioid-use Disorders
At Women’s Hospital at Saint Joseph East, we offer medication-assisted treatment for pregnant women with opioid-use disorders. Our team is here to help mothers and their infants get the best possible results physically, emotionally and mentally, and help them return home in a safe and healthy state.
If you are interested in learning more about the program or would like to schedule an appointment, please call 859.967.5146 to speak with our social work care coordinator.
About the Treatment Program
Our Medication-assisted Treatment program team includes high-risk obstetrician Kristine Lain, MD, and social work care coordinator Lindsey Tong, LCSW.
From before the baby is born until developmental support is no longer needed, we provide compassionate care that is important to success for infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). While enrolled, you will receive a medication-assisted treatment prescription to help prevent withdrawals and ease drug cravings. You will also have an obstetrician who will provide you prenatal care and deliver your baby at Women’s Hospital at Saint Joseph East.
To ensure you are set up for success, your social work care coordinator will be there to provide support during and after your pregnancy and connect you with multiple community support networks.
