Help with drug withdrawal in newborn babies
Some medicines pass through the mother’s bloodstream to the baby’s blood. Severe drug withdrawal symptoms can happen after the baby is born. NAS (neonatal abstinence syndrome) is the medical name for this condition.
Do you use alcohol, street drugs or even prescription medicine? These can harm you and your baby. Stopping suddenly can also cause harm. So be sure to get help from your doctor.

Kristen Bowles: [00:00:03] The Neonatal Abstinence Program is a program where when you identify a mother who is using, we try to enroll her in the case management program. We get her into treatment if need be. We follow her throughout her pregnancy. And then, once the baby is born, we enroll the baby in the program as well.
Sean Loudin: [00:00:24] The innovative portion of this system is the fact that we're actually trying to take those babies out of the neonatal intensive care unit, put them in other locations where they can frankly get maybe even a little more therapeutic care in an environment, still getting medication, and still treating their withdrawal. But then that actually opens up beds and resources for those babies who do require neonatal intensive care. So, premature babies, or sick newborns. That's what the NICU was designed for.
Rebecca Lawrence: [00:00:57] Addiction tears their lives apart. Some of them end up homeless, some of them, unfortunately, end up dead.
Teresa: [00:01:03] If I was here today and not sober, I don't know that I'd be here. I'd probably be in jail, my kids would probably be in the state system.
Alexandra: [00:01:13] These programs are important because there are a lot of addicted mothers out there, that they don't know what to do, and they don't have anybody to turn to.
Rebecca Lawrence: [00:01:22] We kind of act as a social worker as well, if they need help with resources in the community.
Alexandra: [00:01:25] The groups are helpful, you know. It's kind of a support system. The most helpful thing is being able to stay clean.
Kristen Bowles: [00:01:35] Success would be having a full-term healthy baby who thrives, just a normal baby.
Teresa: [00:01:42] I think if everybody had an Aetna program, there'd be a whole lot more sober people in this town.
Alexandra: [00:01:48] I'm able to lead a normal lifestyle which is, for me, is the best thing that could have happened.
