Getting sober yourself is hard but it can become increasingly harder when someone is pregnant. Many providers are hesitant to treat an addict who is pregnant due to potential risks. At SMCS we have a provider who is an OB/GYN, trained and experienced in treating that population and we work with both inpatient and outpatient facilities that will help detox, and provide clinical treatment. If you or someone you know is addicted and pregnant please reach out at 866-268-6609 #Smcs #addictedandpregnant #sobernewyear https://www.pennlive.com//rate-of-opioid-use-and-other-dru

Another example of our Government addressing the opioid epidemic. It is vital we take all possible steps to make sure patients are receiving the most appropriate treatment for their pain, while at the same time appropriately managing and monitoring the risks associated with opioids, Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine said. Medication-assisted treatment is an effective, evidence-based treatment to help those with the disease of addiction to opioids and this step by private insurers allows more people with opioid use disorder to be able to access this form of treatment. Treatment works, and recovery is possible for those who are battling this disease. #SMCS #recovery https://www.media.pa.gov/Pages/Insurance-Details.aspx
