State Pilot Program for Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women

This contract outlines a program aimed at enhancing and expanding integrated, evidence-based services for substance use disorder (SUD) and maternal mental health targeted at pregnant and postpartum women and their families. Its primary goal is to improve health outcomes for both mothers and infants by addressing substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions. The approach involves comprehensive screening, treatment, recovery support, and workforce development to create a holistic care environment. The program prioritizes pregnant and postpartum women diagnosed primarily with SUDs and co-occurring mental health challenges, along with their infants, families, and communities facing disproportionate rates of maternal morbidity and mortality. Administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, this initiative is designed as a pilot program to test and refine effective treatment models. Contact for the program is provided for those seeking further information or engagement.
