[quote=Anonymous]“The ACOG does not support universal UDS but instead limits testing to high risk patients. Few studies have evaluated the utility of universal UDS results among mothers admitted to Labor and Delivery (L&D)“ Patients should be screened with a validated drug screening questionnaire as early as possible antepartum. They should be referred to treatment facilities/programs etc. Drug testing requires consent and is NOT part of standard practice. Family and Child Services are not automatically called for a positive test. They will notified if the baby has withdrawl symptoms or tests positive after delivery. Family services hopes to keep children safe and families together-let’s not assume they want to remove kids from their parents. For anyone who has struggled with drugs or alcohol in the past, you aren’t alone. Pleaser talk to your healthcare provider. [/quote]
