Risks of Methadone use as Substitute Therapy for Opioid Addiction during Pregnancy and use of Clonidine as a Plausible Alternative

Journal of Addiction Medicine and Therapeutic Science
Review Article

It was recommended at that time to avoid detoxification until more data was collected and improved monitoring of fetal homeostasis became available.
