Addressing Perinatal Opioid Use at a Local Health Department in Florida
© 2023. This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply..
PURPOSE: Perinatal substance use disorders (SUDs) remain an urgent public health concern in the United States and are associated with increased maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Establishing holistic prenatal care among this population allows for engaging or re-engaging the pregnant population in appropriate medical care, including treatment for SUD.
DESCRIPTION: The Florida Department of Health in Citrus County (DOH-Citrus) noticed an increase in SUD among their pregnant population and developed a pilot program that incorporates Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) and mental health services during routine prenatal care appointments.
ASSESSMENT: Since the launch of the pilot program, DOH-Citrus has provided prenatal programs with buprenorphine assistance to 23 members of the community.
CONCLUSION: A growing number of local health departments (LHDs) provide harm reduction supplies, overdose prevention education, and local resources for treatment and other life-saving services. In many communities, LHDs are typically the most accessible sources of public health information and health care services. By framing the pilot program as a prenatal care center that incorporates SUD treatment as the prescribed standard of care, DOH-Citrus has implemented a holistic model for treating SUD and reducing barriers while improving continuity of care. LHDs are uniquely positioned to implement harm reduction strategies that address perinatal SUDs, treatment, and recovery within maternal and child health populations. As a health department located in a state without expanded Medicaid and with high rates of uninsured people, this pilot program has the potential to be replicated in other states facing similar challenges.
