This preliminary open-label case series found that pregnant buprenorphine maintained women can stop tobacco. What has sometimes been termed "neonatal opioid abstinence syndrome" may most accurately be termed, "neonatal opioid/tobacco abstinence syndrome." If the treatment effectively addresses tobacco use, other addictive drugs are rarely used. DUST resulted in a 95% quit rate for addictive drugs. Pilot data on this new intervention is limited; a case series that does not have a corresponding control group
