In the Czech Republic there is a consistent slight increase of using illegal habit-forming substances especially among the young population, but abuse passes from former teenagers to the age of current parents. This phenomenon brings with it an increasing number of women who use addictive substances in pregnancy. Assistance in solving health and social problems associated with substance abuse for pregnant women and using mothers offers the specialized institution, Centre for the Family - Drop In, o. p. s., which cooperates with the Public Health (Hygienic) Service and academic sphere in the long term. In the years 2004-2014 there was in care of the Centre for the Family a total number of 1,126 women at childbearing age with an average age of 26.7 years, in total 76 pregnant women and 90 children.

Keywords: drug dependence in pregnancy, drug dependence - mothers
