The question is posed: How can a mother, stable and on methadone treatment
throughout pregnancy, gather information and "peer support" now that her
baby is about to be born, pre-term?

While this resource discusses prenatal and in-hospital care for mother and
baby, and post-discharge community-based care, in the state of Vermont,
anyone who works with opioid-dependent mothers should download this
fabulous resource from the fabulous folks in Vermont doing research and
support in this area.  Jam-packed w/ evidence-based research and protocols.
