Help  for women using opioids during pregnancy

ProHealth Care offers specialized medical services for new mothers and mothers-to-be who are struggling with opioid use during any stage of pregnancy, through delivery and beyond.

The medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program is managed by doctors who are specially trained and experienced in prescribing medications to women during pregnancy. The medication:

• Blocks receptors in the brain to lessen the "high" and "low" effects of opioids.
• Decreases the risk of developing an opioid-related complication during pregnancy.
• Decreases the likelihood and severity of withdrawal symptoms in newborns.

Women continue to receive medication and support from a team of dedicated professionals after giving birth. For more information or to enroll in the program, call 262-548-6903.
