Prendre en soin une femme enceinte usagère de substances psycho-actives en alsace: Le réseau Maternité et Addictions

Abstract

Drug abuse during pregnancy raises many questions both for the caring staff and for the patient herself, inducing bilateral suspicion and hindering good medical care. The "Pregnancy and Addiction Network (RMA)" is sponsored by the "ARS" (French State Health Agency) since 2004 to support addictive pregnant women in the medical, social and psychological fields. RMA provides a multidisciplinary well coordinated approach to enable the birth of a healthy infant raised by secured parents both for their addiction and psychosocial behaviours. Starting from the case of an opïod dependant couple requiring AMP (Assisted Medical Procreation), we discuss the benefice of changing commonly spread representations, present major clinical problems and coordination activities of our network.
