Abstract:
The aim of our network "Motherhood and Addiction Alsace" is to take care of opiates addicted pregnant women in order to permit the birth of a healthy child, raised by stabilized parents both on drug use and psychosocial status. A couple, both on methadone treatment, with chronic hepatitis for the husband had access to an in vitro fertilization program thanks to the network care. The difficulties on the path to parenthood, the adequate use of painkillers, neonatal care and the use of a coordinated action of all health professionals are discussed.
