Gallus is proud to announce that we are accepting pregnant patients up to 36 weeks into their pregnancy.
Sadly, many women struggle to find access to care for substance use disorder when they become pregnant. Most facilities do not want to accept them because of the liability issues and most women shy away from care out of concern they will be reported to authorities (they will not be reported during pregnancy in all the states Gallus operates in).
Watch the story hyperlinked below for an in-depth analysis of this issue and to learn more about what Gallus Detox is doing to address the problem.
