Most hospitals screen for drugs and HIV/AIDS before/during pregnancy/birth... in the event of a positive result ..they are required by law to notify Child Protective Services... of course this law varies slightly from state to state... but every state has some protocol for exactly this type of situation.... as far as your baby being "taken" from you... it generally depends on the mothers willingness to enroll in a drug treatment program(rehab)... and depending on how addicted to opiates the child is when born, both will be major contributing factors in the courts decision to allow the mother to keep custody...
My suggestion is that you talk to your OBGYN and let him/her know what your situation is..ask your OBGYN to refer you to a treatment facility or Doctor Who specializes in detox for pregnant women...you may need to be hospitalized, depending on how severe your addiction is...doing this BEFORE you give birth, may save YOUR life..as well as the BABY's...this will also show CPS and the family courts, that you are trying to clean yourself up, and become a good mother to your child....which will give you the best chance at being able to keep your baby...

Can you take Oxycontin when pregnant?
If you're addicted, your baby will be addicted too. I know it's difficult to do, but for the health and wellbeing of you and your baby, talk to your doctor about the situation. It is possible to have your doctor wean you slowly off the drug until you are no longer feeling the effects of withdrawal. There are also Suboxone pills(aka the miracle drug for addicts, trust me, they're amazing) available to take while pregnant to eliminate Oxycontin withdrawal. I cant imagine going through withdrawal while pregnant. That could cause the baby to go into distress, since your blood pressure will be high, you wont want to eat, and you'll feel like absolute hell. Take care and good luck.
