L’objectif
Although medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD) are the standard of care during pregnancy, there are many potential gaps in the cascade of care for pregnant people experiencing incarceration.
Constatations/points à retenir
Only 40% of eligible pregnant people with opioid use disorder received either buprenorphine or methadone during incarceration. Fewer than one-third were referred for medications for opioid use disorder when they returned to the community after incarceration. Withdrawal symptoms are common among people whose buprenorphine or methadone are discontinued immediately postpartum during incarceration.
