Substance Use in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Opioids & Marijuana

Presented by Dr. Kaylin Klie, MD, MA

The national rate of opioid use disorder among women in the perinatal period is increasing rapidly, while about 1 in 20 women report using marijuana while pregnant. This makes finding safe, effective, and supportive treatment options a healthcare imperative. This webinar will share a new way of looking at addiction, and you’ll learn the latest in treatment options for pregnant and breastfeeding women from case study examples.

Addiction medicine specialist Dr. Kaylin Klie joins us to talk about this important topic and clear up misconceptions about who uses and why. You’ll also get a chance to ask your own questions.

Learning objectives:

  • Discuss what addiction is—and what it is not
  • Review epidemiology of substance use in pregnancy
  • Discuss screening approaches and tools
  • Compare treatment approaches, including MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment), for pregnant and breastfeeding women with opiate use disorder
  • Discuss marijuana use in pregnancy and breastfeeding, including recent studies on its effects and how to counsel patients
