  • Identify special considerations in the treatment of pregnant women with opioid use disorder – in the ante-natal period, during labour and post- partum, including breast feeding.
  • Examine neonatal opioid withdrawal and recognize how treatment decisions may impact withdrawal severity and overall maternal/neonatal outcomes.
