Abstract

Substance use disorders disproportionally affect adolescents and young adults, and are especially concerning among pregnant adolescents. Teens who have substance abuse disorders are at increased risk for pregnancy, and although many stop or reduce their use when they learn they are pregnant, many also struggle with dependence or addiction. This chapter focuses on the more common substances of misuse—alcohol, cannabis, opioids, stimulants, hallucinogens, inhalants, and smoking. All have the potential to affect fetal and child development. Pregnancy offers opportunities to intervene as most pregnant women are motivated engage in treatment for the sake of their babies. Substance use disorders are treatable diseases that can be managed successfully by combining medications with behavioral therapy and recovery support.
