She is a great mom and was very brave to make the leap she did, stay clean and stay committed to her beautiful child, who is not only healthy but a brilliant and brave little girl! I agree, Jared!

I think that the woman was very brave to get pregnant and go through with giving birth while on methadone. I can't imagine the pressure she must have been under to "just stop" or all the comments about the health of her baby and what she is doing. She sound like a great mom to me. Methadone does little to no physical damage so the baby really wasn't in any risk of long term damage. She said it best "At least you can be clean and sober with your child, and take it one day at a time" I would suggest that for the long term she think about suboxone to get off the methadone but that is her decision and I think her baby will grow up just fine This is a great article.
