Pregnant on Methadone?

Question by SmileItsNotThatSerious: Pregnant on Methadone?
Many women take methadone for pain or are far into their addiction treatement, and then they get pregnant by accident. Rather than abortion, they slowly and safely lower their dose so the baby isn’t born addicted. But then there are the women who don’t care or don’t want to try, and they actually increase their dose! THESE women complained that their clinic wanted them to lower their dose, and made it seem like they were being asked to stop cold turkey (which can cause miscarriage). Now NJ has a law being proposed that will make it illegal for a woman on meth who gets pregnant to safely quit methadone!!!! Basically they want to force women to STAY ON methadone, and take away their right to choose having a healthy baby! Medical research says that SLOWLY tapering off methadone is safest, but these “addiction” specialists are fighting this and putting out false info that it is not safe.
How can a concerned mom fight this?
You can find the 200+ pages of changes to methadone programs at
NJ Department of Health and Human Services’
Department of Addiction Services.
or at lexisnexis.com

DOCTORS agree that it is totally safe for a mom to withdraw SLOWLY from meth while pregnant, and better for the baby. A ten year study was just completed regarding this issue. I bet I’ve done more research than you, citizen.
