Pregnant women have admission and treatment priority at treatment programs funded by the SAPT Block Grant (per 45 CFR Part 96), and Medicaid and sliding scale fees may be payment options at treatment centers.  SAPT Block Grant funded non-profit centers must not deny treatment to persons unable to pay, and may provide sliding scale payment options and serve Medicaid-eligible clients.  The treatment centers listed above at the link “Find a treatment center in your area” are all SAPT Block Grant funded and give pregnant women admission and treatment priority, as well as not denying treatment based on ability to pay.

Remember, let them know you are pregnant when you call

Plan of Care

The CARA Plan of Care is a voluntary referral to services designed to support the health and safety of you and your baby, both now and in the months ahead.  Your hospital care team will offer you a CARA Plan of Care if your baby was affected by drugs or alcohol in the womb. You and your care team will develop the CARA Plan of Care together before you leave the hospital. The CARA Plan of Care’s purpose is to:

  • Make sure you and your baby remain healthy and safe.
  • Support you in caring for your baby at home.
  • Connect you and your baby with services you might need

Pregnancy and a new baby can bring a range of emotions. In fact, many feel overwhelmed, sad, or anxious at different times during their pregnancy and even after the baby is born. For many, these feelings go away on their own. But for some, these emotions are more serious and may stay for months. The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline’s counselors provide real-time emotional support, encouragement, information, and referrals. Pregnant and postpartum people can get the help and resources they need, when they need it.

Are you a new parent and feeling sad, worried, overwhelmed, or concerned that you aren’t good enough? You aren’t alone. You aren’t to blame. With help, you can feel better. Call or text,
