Medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD) during pregnancy and in the postpartum period remain underutilized. A need exists to enhance our understanding of modifiable factors, facilitators, and barriers to MOUD utilization and adherence in the perinatal period to improve maternal and child outcomes. The study conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with recently pregnant people with opioid use disorder (OUD) to explore experiences as a pregnant and/or parenting person with OUD, perceptions of enabling factors and barriers to treatment utilization, incentivizing factors for maintaining adherence, and acceptability of ongoing supports to sustain treatment adherence. The study team used constant comparative methods to analyze transcripts and develop the codebook. The team double coded the transcripts, with an overall kappa coefficient of 0.88. The study team interviewed twenty-six women on average 10.1 months after delivery. All women had some prior experience using MOUD. Four unique themes emerged as barriers to medication utilization and adherence in the perinatal period: 1) Lack of agency and autonomy surrounding medication decisions because pregnancy or parenting status affected treatment adherence; 2) Hesitancy to use MOUD to minimize risk of newborn withdrawal; 3) Concern about increased scrutiny and potential loss of custody due to mandated child welfare reporting for opioid-exposure at delivery in Massachusetts; and 4) Perception that treatment environments, particularly methadone clinics, did not provide gender-responsive or equitable care, and standardized, inflexible visit regulations were particularly difficult to comply with in the early postpartum period. Women with OUD experienced a double bind when making perinatal treatment decisions, describing pressure to use MOUD with negative consequences after delivery. Key areas for possible intervention emerged from interviews. These areas include improving uptake of shared decision-making to increase patient autonomy and agency, particularly among those in the earliest stages of recovery during pregnancy; ongoing education around perinatal MOUD safety and efficacy; detangling MOUD and neonatal withdrawal signs from mandated child welfare reporting; and improving gender-responsive and equitable care in substance use disorder treatment programs, including incorporating the utilization of home visiting services for dosing assessments and administration in the early postpartum period.
