Pregnancy Promise Program helps new, expectant moms
Many babies and their mothers need support, especially pregnant women battling substance use disorders. Maternal and infant mortality rates in Indiana are decreasing, but substance abuse and overdoses continue to be leading causes of maternal death in our state, according to the Indiana Maternal Mortality Review Committee’s latest annual report.

The Indiana Pregnancy Promise Program provides free, confidential support for new and expectant moms on Medicaid who use or have used opioids. The program, which is voluntary, helps during the prenatal period and for 12 months after the end of pregnancy.[Click here to learn more about the Indiana Pregnancy Promise Program.]

To be eligible, women must meet these criteria:

  • Be pregnant or within 90 days of the end of pregnancy;
  • Admit to current or previous opioid use; and
  • Be eligible or receive Medicaid.
