Take the first step in living your best life — for you and your baby. Reach out to the Perinatal Hope Program today by calling (412) 578-5575. You can also request a call from us and someone will reach out to you soon.
Know this — we’re here to help, not to judge. When you participate in the Perinatal Hope Program, you’ll get the treatment you need to care for yourself and your child within a safe, judgement-free space. We’ll help you overcome the addiction to opioids, alcohol, smoking, or any other type of drug and give you support to ensure you and your baby remain together.
Here’s all that the program offers:
If you’re struggling with a substance use disorder while pregnant, that substance will get passed to your baby. In that case, your baby may have a condition known as neonatal abstinence syndrome, or NAS. Babies with NAS may need specialized care to handle withdrawal symptoms, which include tremors, seizures, or difficulty breathing or feeding.
AHN will provide specialized support through those first few days of life and will continue to do until your child reaches age 3. Here’s what you can expect:
Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety or another mental health issue, or maybe adapting to motherhood has been hard and you’re experiencing postpartum depression. AHN is here to provide support and care for all of life’s ups and downs. Call (412) DOCTORS (412) 362-8677 to make an appointment with another health specialist.
Opioid use disorder (OUD) continues to grow in the United States. Around 2.1 million people struggle with OUD* and the number of pregnant women affected has quadrupled over the last two decades.** If you’re facing these challenges, know that we are here to help you and your baby.
Remember, hope begins the moment you ask for help. Reach out to AHN to get the treatment you need to overcome opioid use disorder and care for your baby. Call (412) 578-5575 or request for us to call you.
