Abstract

Based on their clinical practice and an extensive review of the literature, the authors propose a framework of procedures to be followed to provide services to all women of childbearing age who use psychoactive substances (alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines, and opioids), especially during pregnancy or during the postpartum and breastfeeding periods, in view of their individual situations and environmental contexts.

Keywords: addiction; breastfeeding; care; pregnancy; women.
