Prior drug use and pregnant?

I am writing a medical essay and I would like to know the likelihood of a child coming out with birth defects if the mother was a 30-year-old female who had been on heroine two years prior.

If the mother is currently clean and well nourished, then the chances are lower, unless she has genetic conditions.
If she stopped before conception then minimal if any.
