Exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and drugs prenatally may cause a spectrum of physical and developmental challenges in youth. A range of prevention, early intervention, and treatment efforts can mitigate negative outcomes for these infants, parents, and their families. Examples of these strategies include early identification and engagement of pregnant women with SUDs in treatment and services, collaborative development and implementation of a Plan of Safe Care for the infant and family/caregiver, and early engagement into developmental services for identified infants and children.
Infants with prenatal exposure to opioids may experience Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, a treatable pattern of effects that are associated with opioid withdrawal in newborns.
