Opioid Exposure and Neonatal
Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) will bring
together leaders in the field of policy,
opioid exposed infants, pain treatment
during pregnancy, and addiction
treatment during and after pregnancy.
The meeting will be held on Thursday,
August 30th 2012 in the Indian Treaty
Room, Eisenhower Executive Office
Building, 17th Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Washington D.C, 20500
starting at 9:00 a.m. and concluding at
5:30 p.m. The overall objectives of the
meeting are to review the state of
science and policy and discuss the
remaining challenges to the field
concerning the upswing in maternal
prescription drug abuse and
dependence and resulting increases in
opioid exposed babies with NAS and
possibly other consequences. Misuse
and abuse of, and dependence upon,
prescription opioid drugs adversely
affect the health of millions of
Americans and their families.
The specific conference objectives are:
(1) To share research findings
concerning the NAS epidemic and its
costs; (2) to begin a national discussion
concerning promising and best practices
for treating opioid exposed babies; (3) to
raise awareness about opioid misuse
and dependence during pregnancy and
the need for women with drug use
disorders to access treatment through
family medicine and gynecological
practitioners, and specialty treatment
providers; (4) to discuss legal and policy
issues related to opioid using pregnant
women and mothers including barriers
to accessing treatment; (5) to promote
awareness among regulatory agencies
and insurers concerning the risks and
benefits of opioids to developing fetuses
and the likelihood of neonatal
abstinence syndrome resulting from
long term opioid use during pregnancy;
and (6) to raise awareness about risk
prevention opportunities among
practitioners and regulators. Members of
the public who wish to attend this
meeting should telephone ONDCP’s
Maternal, Fetal, and Infant Opioid
Exposure and Neonatal Abstinence
Syndrome telephone line at (202) 395–
7454 to arrange building access no later
than Friday, August 10, 2012. Seating
for members of the public is limited and
will be assigned on a first come, first
served basis.

the social security equivalent and nonsocial security equivalent portions of

independent vehicle for obtaining the
needed information when an
annuitant’s residence or tax treaty status
changes. Completion is voluntary. One
