چکیده
Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes with Buprenorphine Treatment By Arthur Falek, Ph.D. A paper in the June issue of Drug and Alcohol Dependence (63:97-103, 2001) Rolley E.

It is estimated that in the United States there are 5,000 to 10,000 infants born to opioid dependent women each year. Prenatal methadone treatment, introduced to protect the child from the medical consequences of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), unfortunately, was found to result as well in a high incidence of NAS needing extensive treatment and hospitalization.
