Overview
Brief Summary
The study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of a 50 minute treatment education session for perinatal women with opioid use disorder and a community support person. The education session provides correct information about opioid agonist medications and neonatal abstinence syndrome.
Detailed Description
Perinatal women with opioid disorder often face criticism by social network members for receiving opioid agonist treatment. Feeling stigmatized by others may impact willingness to start and remain in agonist treatment.
The present study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of a 50 minute treatment education session for perinatal women who are treated using an agonist medication (methadone or buprenorphine) and community support chosen by the patient.
Study participants will be recruited from perinatal women who receive substance abuse treatment at the Center for Addiction and Pregnancy or Addiction Treatment Services at Johns Hopkins Bayview campus. These women will work with a counselor to select a community support person to bring to the program for the education session.
The session will provide correct information on opioid agonist medications and neonatal abstinence syndrome. This session will follow a structured outline.
