Brief Summary

We want to learn if Patient Navigation helps pregnant Medicaid members with opioid use disorder, with or without stimulant use disorder, stay in care, use medications for opioid use disorder, reduce substance use, and connect with services, compared to usual care. Enrolled participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of two groups: Usual Care or Patient Navigation. Participate will last up to 14 months and participants randomized to Patient Navigation may have about 14 sessions/calls with a Patient Navigator (30-45 minutes each) and complete 3 surveys (30-60 minutes each). All visits can be by phone or video.

Patient Navigation

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention portion consists of sessions delivered in both the participant's prenatal and postnatal period.

Behavioral: Patient Navigation

Interventions

The prenatal portion will consist of 7-10 sessions, with the number of sessions received being dependent on the pregnancy week enrolled and the date of delivery. Each session will last 45-60 minutes and will be delivered by a study navigator. Participants who complete the intervention before delivery will receive regular calls/texts until delivery wherein the navigator will encourage and reinforce recovery, Medication for Opioid Use adherence, and treatment retention. The postnatal portion of the intervention will be delivered in 4 sessions over 8 weeks.
