Naltrexone for Pregnancy OUD.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) Is a national crisis. Pregnancy is not immune to OUD. Traditionally, methadone and buprenorphine have been used as medical treatments for this condition in pregnancy, with concerns about naltrexone (an opioid antagonist) use. In January 2020, a new prospective cohort study (AJOH) adds reassuring data on the safety and effectiveness of this medication option.
