Yes, MAT is considered the standard of care for pregnant women with opioid use disorder. Certain MAT medications are safe during pregnancy and can protect both mother and baby from the dangers of untreated opioid addiction, including overdose and withdrawal complications. Babies, however, may still be born with exposure to the medication, such as buprenorphine, in their system. It is important to talk to your doctor or healthcare team as soon as you know you are pregnant to determine the safest treatment plan for you and your baby.
