Substance abuse contributes to around half of all maternal deaths in Alabama. Dr. Huh is joined by Suzanne Muir, associate director of the UAB Department of Psychiatry and Neurobiology, and Carolyn Webster, MD, a physician within the UAB Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, who are part of the leadership team for the Comprehensive Addiction in Pregnancy Program (CAPP). This program, which treated its first patient in 2018, offers pregnant women and new moms a unique web of support, ranging from standard prenatal care and education to peer support, counseling, and recovery services. Webster and Muir discuss the combination of challenges to addressing addiction in pregnancy and how their program is creating a sense of community and safety for these vulnerable families.
