Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les auteurs montrent que la prise en charge de la parturiente toxicomane et sa pharmacothérapie sont délicates et complexes. Le traitement de maintenance à la méthadone permet une réhabilitation tant physique et psychologique que sociale. Ceci est bénéfique pour la mère et son enfant à tous les stades de la gestation et après la naissance.
ENGLISH :
The complete schema for treating opioid dependence in the perinatal period is complex and intense, but methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) serves multiple purposes. Primarly, it removes the addicted woman from the drug-seeking environment, eliminates the necessary illicit behavior and prevents the peaks and valleys in the maternal heroin level that may occur throughout the day. In addition, maternal nutrition is usually improved and MMT patients become amenable to prenatal care and psychosocial rehabilitation. It is evident from the findings of numerous studies that when the physical, psychological and socioeconomic issues of pregnant opioid-dependent women and their children are coupled with MMT, the potential physical and behavioral effects of psychoactive drugs on the mother, the fetus, the newborn, and the child may be markedly reduced.(Extract from the author's abstract)
