This webinar, free and open to all, will review evidence-based treatment for pregnant and breastfeeding women with opioid use disorder and barriers to care.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Contrast methadone and buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
  2. Counsel pregnant women receiving pharmacotherapy regarding neonatal withdrawal, pain management, contraception, and breastfeeding concerns.
  3. Understand how stigma and punitive policies serve to harm women and children by preventing them from obtaining necessary health care.
In order to obtain CME credit, each participant must register individually for the webinar, sign in to view it, and complete a brief post-webinar quiz. Following the live presentation, the webinar will be archived on ACOG’s substance use disorders webpage for convenient viewing. The archived webinar will not provide CME credit.
