Constatations/points à retenir

This case report highlights iOAT as an option during pregnancy and describes the in-patient setting as appropriate to retain high-risk patients in care. This approach may benefit those who are refractory to standard opioid agonist treatment, the numbers of whom may be rising as tolerance to the illicit supply increases.
