The need for integrated and coordinated care among pregnant people, parents and people of childbearing age who have a history of or who are at risk for SUD/OUD in Armstrong, Indiana, Butler, Venango, and Lawrence counties of Pennsylvania is urgent. To meet this growing need deeper interventions are required that can effectively reduce the incidence of Neonatal Abstinence Disorder (NAS) in this 5-county rural service area, which includes 2 of the 5 counties in the state that have the highest incidence of NAS, Venango and Lawrence. Goals of the RCORP NAS consortium include: 1. Increase access to contraception and STI testing to individuals of childbearing age who are at risk for SUD/OUD. 2. Educate key groups on best practice to improve engagement of individuals of childbearing age with treatment and recovery. 3. Improve engagement with the target population with behavioral health services through cross sectoral collaborative programs designed to increase points of service entry. 4. Increase the number of OBGYN and other health and social service professionals who can screen diagnose and treat pregnant women with SUD/OUD and other mental health conditions through recruitment and training initiatives. 5. Increase the number of providers who are trained and waivered to prescribe buprenorphine -containing products for the purpose of MAT. 6. Reduce physical and social barriers for pregnant individuals with SUD/OUD to enter and engage with behavioral health treatment including MAT to individuals in the earliest stages of pregnancy. 7. Improve behavioral health financial systems in order to sustain the maternal behavioral health work force. 8. Increase the number of providers who can screen, diagnose, and treat NAS. 9. Ensure infants with NAS receive a discharge plan that facilitates proper care. 10. Ensure mothers receive adequate post partem psycho social support including access to behavioral health services including treatment for SUD/ OUD and access to mental health services.
