Signs & Symptoms of NAS Typical onset 1-3 days after birth, but may experience onset up to one week after birth. Burgos & Burke, 2009
Responding to the Epidemic • Literature reviews • Patients are our guide • Focus groups • Identified critical needs and priorities • More support & “Sense of Community” • More education about nutrition, breastfeeding, post-delivery care, and parenting • Coordinated services to reduce fragmented care & logistical barriers to care
“When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was using crack cocaine, alcohol, and any kind of drug that could help me feel better. I didn’t go actually to the doctor until I was like six months pregnant. And, what they told me was that they would see me again, but the next time that I came into the doctor that my drug screen would need to be negative. Well when I came back, of course it was positive, and they referred me to another doctor. So, I went to another doctor and they told me the same thing and they referred me to another doctor. So this last doctor that I went to, he kept me, and you know of course I didn’t go like I was supposed to, you know, because I was addicted and my addicted mind was just scared to go to the doctor. My water broke actually when I was getting high. I was using the restroom and my water broke. So I went on to the hospital and I told the doctor and the nurses that I was getting high and my water broke because I didn’t want anything to happen to me nor the baby. The day I had my baby, DCS came and got involved. They said they wanted to take my children. So from there, I went to a rehab. After that rehab, I went to IOP. Today, I am clean and it is a joyful feeling. My head is clear. And, I can honestly say if it wouldn’t been for IOP and if it wouldn’t been for my other program, you know I would probably still be using today and I wouldn’t have my children around. I can see them every day. So, it is a process that I have to go through, but I am going through it. It is a wonderful feeling and I am certainly blessed.”
Rationale for the CHS Integrated Treatment Model • Prevalence and comorbidity of mental health and substance use disorders • Fragmentation of specialty care sector • Diminished access to specialty care • Longitudinal care for the family
Overview of the CHS Treatment Model • All pregnant women receive behavioral enhanced OB care provided by a multidisciplinary team • Continuum of services include: • Health risk assessment • Healthy lifestyle and wellness promotion • Behavioral health assessment & intervention • Case management • Psychiatric medication management • OB Care • Referral to continuum of co-located specialty behavioral health resources
Model of Care: Treatment of Substance Use Disorders • Treatment model emphasizes long-term abstinence-based alcohol and drug treatment • “Strong enough, for long enough.” • Pregnant women can be safely tapered to abstinence prior to delivery to prevent NAS in the infant • Measured approach to MAT • Long-term replacement therapies should not be the first-line treatment for pregnant women with substance use disorders

Preliminary Outcome Data on the CHS Integrated Treatment Model
Preliminary Outcome Data on the CHS Integrated Treatment Model • CASE STUDY
Longitudinal Care for the Family • All families receive behaviorally enhanced pediatric primary care provided by a multidisciplinary team • Continuum of services include: • Health risk assessment • Healthy lifestyle and wellness promotion • Behavioral health assessment & intervention • Developmental screenings, assessments, and interventions • Case management • Psychiatric medication management • Referral to continuum of co-located specialty behavioral health resources
Model of Care: Integrated Pediatric Primary Care • Treatment model emphasizes long-term family-centered care that includes: • Prevention • Detection • Intervention • Coordination with Adult Primary Care and OB/GYN • Introduction to integrated pediatric services • Initial Newborn Well Child Check • NAS Information Shared • Parenting Support Offered
Lessons Learned • Screening for and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders are vital components of routine OB care • Timely access to coordinated specialty care is important • There is no “one size fits all” treatment approach • Assessment of engagement and motivation is essential • Care is longitudinal and family-focused
