Drug-of-abuse testing in the neonate.
Drug-exposed mothers and infants continue to challenge maternal and infant health care resources. Complex family problems, polydrug abuse, long-standing drug use, and resistance to change may complicate intervention and treatment. Maternal motivation to change may be significant at the time of a child's birth, however. Identification of the infant exposed to drugs of abuse may provide an opportunity for health care providers to intervene at a time when the mother is open to assistance in addressing her drug abuse problem. Performing drug testing on the neonate without providing the necessary family assessment, referral, and follow-up services limits the usefulness of the test. Awareness of community resources, referral mechanisms, and involvement of social services provides an integrated approach to the family and a better outcome for the infant.
