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
Rational for CHS Treatment Model

Preliminary Outcome Data on the CHS
Integrated Treatment Model
Demographics
Mean age = 27.1 years
(range = 20 - 39 years)
Average gestational
age at entry into CHS

(range = 6 - 35 weeks)
Reported Substances
Mental Health
Diagnoses
Outcomes
THC
Depression
NAS diagnoses = 8
Opiates
Anxiety (PTSD, Panic
Disorder, GAD)
Fetal demise = 1

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 familycentered 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
