Thank you for replying. We need to get the medical and legal community on the same page when it comes to Methadone Treatment during pregancey and how important being under medical care at this time is the best for mother and child. There is a stigma associated with this program, as well meaning friends and family will tell the mother to 'get off that stuff' even though the mother is following her medical team's instructions. The judge in my daughter's case has reprimanded her on two occasions for her using methadone during pregnacey and even though we have had a methadone counceller and mental health rep. i court she refuses to let them explain the program. My daughter is only allowed three days a week with her daughter under my supervision. We hope to move forward with this and get her daughter back full time in the future.
Hi there!
Well, it would be difficult to comment specifically on the situation, though I would agree that ideally she should have been under the care of her endocrinologist and an addiction specialist during the time. I would suggest seeking a review with her primary doctors for appropriate dose adjustment of the medications.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
