Book excerpt: Drug misusers are increasingly seen as patients requiring care, rather than as confirmed delinquents. But is this the case with pregnant women who misuse drugs? What kinds of care are available to them? Can special provision be made for them? What ethical issues arise? The aim of this seminar held in Strasbourg in May 2000 was to review the situation in the field of care provision for drug-misusing pregnant women and suggest new areas of work for the future.
