The Administration’s vision is https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ONDCP_Report-Substance-Use-Disorder-and-Pregnancy.pdfthat all pregnant women with SUD will be identified early in pregnancy and prioritized to receive evidence-based treatment, services, and other recovery and social supports. Health care delivery will be well coordinated to optimize outcomes for families and prevent foster care placement where possible. Clear coordination of health care and early childhood systems, including public health, early learning, courts, child welfare systems, and family economic supports will optimize the outcomes for infants and pregnant women with SUD.

We approached this work acknowledging five key values:

1. Having SUD in pregnancy is not, by itself, child abuse or neglect.
2. Criminalizing SUD in pregnancy is ineffective and harmful as it prevents pregnant women with SUD from seeking and receiving the help they need.
3. Everyone has the right to effective treatment, and denying such care on the basis of sex or disability is a violation of civil rights.
4. Pregnant women using substances or having SUD, should be encouraged to access support and care systems, and barriers to access should be addressed, mitigated, and eliminated where possible.
5. Improving coordination of public health, criminal justice systems, treatment and early childhood systems can optimize outcomes and reduce disparities.
