Maternal Opiate and Substance Treatment (MOST) Program
About the Maternal Opiate and Substance Treatment (MOST) Program
The Maternal Opiate and Substance Treatment (MOST) Program at Norton Community Medical Associates is a specialized program designed to support pregnant women who are struggling with substance abuse, particularly opiates and other addictive substances.
We understand the unique challenges that expecting mothers face when battling substance abuse, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate care and guidance throughout their journey towards recovery.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
Our MOST Program offers a wide range of comprehensive treatment options tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals, including obstetricians, gynecologists, addiction specialists, and mental health counselors, work together to create personalized treatment plans that are safe and effective for both the mother and the baby.
Some of the treatment options available in our program include:
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) - We utilize FDA-approved medications, combined with counseling and behavioral therapies, to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, promoting a successful recovery.
- Individual and Group Counseling - Our licensed counselors provide one-on-one counseling sessions and group therapy to address the underlying causes of substance abuse and develop coping mechanisms for long-term sobriety.
- Prenatal Care - Our dedicated team of obstetricians provide comprehensive prenatal care, ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the baby throughout pregnancy.
- Parenting Education - We offer educational resources and guidance on healthy parenting practices to help expecting mothers provide a nurturing environment for their child.
- Support Services - We connect patients with community resources and support groups to promote continued recovery and long-term success.
The Importance of Maternal Substance Abuse Treatment
Seeking treatment for substance abuse during pregnancy is crucial for the health and well-being of both the mother and the unborn child. Untreated substance abuse can lead to complications such as preterm labor, low birth weight, developmental issues, and substance-related neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS).
At Norton Community Medical Associates, we prioritize the safety and health of both the mother and the baby. Our MOST Program offers a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where women can receive the care they need to overcome addiction and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Resources and Support
We understand that navigating through the challenges of addiction and pregnancy can be overwhelming. That's why our MOST Program provides access to a wide range of resources and support services to help expecting mothers throughout their recovery journey.
Our team will work closely with each patient to ensure they have access to:
- 24/7 Helpline - A dedicated helpline is available for immediate assistance and support.
- Community Referrals - We collaborate with community organizations and rehab centers to provide additional resources and support beyond our program.
- Continued Care Planning - We assist with creating a comprehensive continued care plan, outlining ongoing support and treatment options even after the baby is born.
- Supportive Peer Networks - We encourage patients to engage with supportive peer networks and attend support groups for continued guidance and encouragement throughout their recovery process.
