The comprehensive Mother & Baby Substance Exposure Toolkit was created by the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative, the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative, and HMA Institute on Addiction. This toolkit provides information on treating mothers and newborns from the prenatal period through hospital discharge with a focus on opioid-related conditions. The toolkit provides a list of evidence-based best practices in screening for substance use, providing treatment to both mothers and newborns, creating safe and supportive care transition plans, and providing education about perinatal substance abuse and newborn care. It also includes a comprehensive implementation guide for clinicians looking to implement these best practices in their clinical settings.
