Are you pregnant and have opioid use disorder or have a history of using opioids?
The MOM program could be right for you. It can help you get all the care and services you may need while pregnant and after the birth of your baby too.
As soon as you know you are having a baby, start prenatal care. These checkups help keep you and your baby healthy. If you are not sure where to start, call your health care provider or your health care plan for help.
The MOM program offers case management services, helping you to connect all the care services needed for the health, wellbeing, treatment, and recovery of soon to be parents and infants who have an opioid use disorder (OUD). You can get services during and up to one year after your pregnancy.
