Can Past Hard Drug Abuse Damage the Ova (Egg Cells) in a Woman and Cause Mental Retardation or Birth Defects?
Question by pizza_party9: Can past hard drug abuse damage the ova (egg cells) in a woman and cause mental retardation or birth defects?
Can the already developed ova that are in a woman’s body from birth be damaged from years of hard drug use, specifically opiate, marijuana and cocaine abuse? I am curious to know if the child of a former heroin addict is at risk of being born with any birth defects both physical and mental. The mother has been free from drugs for six years. I want to know if ova can be altered while dormant in the ovaries and lead to problems years later if the egg is fertilized. Thank you.

What are the components that should be present in an addiction treatment program?
Best answer:
Answer by andie l
First of all, addiction treatment programs are not just about medication. It’s not all about anti-depressants and mood stabilizers. There must be continued care and supervision. There must also be counseling and therapy. There must be a periodical assessment to keep track of the progress of the patient. The intensity and length of the treatment of the patient depends upon the severity of his drug addiction.
