Session Description: CHOICE is a treatment program for pregnant mothers that have Substance Use Disorders. This program is embedded in OB/GYN ambulatory offices and provides 24/7 access to detox services based out of labor and delivery units. A multidisciplinary team works together to resolve patients unique barriers to care. Mothers are provided services until their infant is up to 13 months old. CHOICE has developed team led approaches to resolving barriers such as transportation, safety, food insecurity, legal issues and mothers fear of Department of Children’s Services. In-patient CHOICE teams utilize many non-pharmacological methods to assist babies after delivery while providing a compassionate care based delivery experience for the mother. This workshop will help participants gain a better understanding of how to provide care to pregnant patients with SUD and how to develop a program that meets the need of their own organizations.
This presentation would be geared toward any staff member that is working within an ambulatory setting and desires to start a treatment program for any type patient. Emphasis will be placed on how to utilize relationships within a community to enhance patients experiences. Focus will be directed on how to make services work within an already established office setting.
