Comprehensive Addiction in Pregnancy Program (CAPP)

UAB Medicine’s Comprehensive Addiction in Pregnancy Program (CAPP) provides help for new and expecting mothers with a current or past substance use disorder. It combines prenatal and postpartum care with social services, case management, and peer recovery support. This is in addition to evaluating and treating patients for addiction, which may include medications in cases of opioid use disorder.

Our care coordinators can connect you with recovery services that best suit your needs and make referrals for specialty pediatric care. CAPP creates a safe, respectful environment where women receive complete and family-centered care to support recovery. The program is a partnership between the UAB Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, UAB Beacon Recovery, the UAB Department of Psychiatry, the Jefferson County Department of Human Resources, Jefferson County Family Court, Aletheia House, and others.

The UAB Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine is one of the largest and most respected programs of its kind in the nation. Our specialists provide expert obstetric care for women with high-risk pregnancies and related concerns, supported by the most advanced diagnostic and treatment services.

Please call 205-934-5795 to learn more about CAPP, make an appointment, or refer a patient.

NOTE: UAB Medicine providers also may make a referral by completing a patient evaluation and consultation request in IMPACT for UAB Maternal-Fetal Medicine and checking the box next to CAPP.
