Opiate use during pregnancy?

I have a lot of back problems and am currently being treated and am very dependent on opiates. My doctor (OB) said that it is safe to use during pregnancy, he is aware of my disabilities and treatment, but what about when the baby is born? I know it doesn't commonly cause prblems in development but if I'm addicted then my baby will be too. What can they do about this? How will it be handled? I understand that my functionality will be non existent without my meds but I don't care, I want to know what the docs will do bc if I don't like it then I'll just have to do something myself. help, thanks.
