This came up awhile back when I posted about my pregnant friend who was using a number of dangerous Rx drugs.

In this state ALL newborns are drug tested, and if the baby comes up positive for any illicit or unprescribed drug (yes, they test for commonly abused Rx drugs, too) CPS WILL take the baby and the mother will have to go to court.

Yawkaw's idea about methadone maintenance is by far the most sensible thing this woman can do. They will often bypass waiting lists for pregnant women. Many states (or even the clincis themselves) offer financial assistance for MMT if the patient is low-income.

Here is the previous thread about Pregnancy and Medications

Good luck!
