Families in Recovery Staying Together

Multi-disciplinary program for pregnant people and newborns affected by chronic opioid exposure in pregnancy, with enhanced rooming-in post-partum.

A consult-only service that helps coordinate antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum/newborn care at the RAH for opioid-exposed moms and babies. We will meet the patient at any point in their perinatal journey and provide services as needed. The services we work closely with include: Obstetrics, MFM, Addictions Medicine, Anesthesia, Social Work, Pediatrics, and NICU. We also support enhanced rooming-in for the dyads. Please note that the program does NOT provide routine OAT or obstetrical care. All referred patients must have a Most Responsible Prenatal Care Provider.
