Opiates are a class of morphine-like drugs that include oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, as well as illicit substances like heroin and kratom. All of these are harmful to your unborn baby. If mother is addicted to these substances, there is a big risk for her baby to be born with the neonatal abstinence syndrome. These newborns who receive opioids or addictive substances through the placenta during pregnancy are born addicted to whatever mother was addicted to. Babies have withdrawal symptoms during their first few days of life and end up spending days or weeks even in the neonatal ICU. This syndrome may cause your child to cry often, experience vomiting or diarrhea and be excessively fussy or ill. Although this syndrome would be less severe with buprenorphine than methadone, our unique program helps mothers to get off of buprenorphine as well WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPERIENCE WITHDRAWAL. If you or a loved one is addicted and pregnant or even planning a pregnancy, make the WISE choice and let us help you or your loved one to deliver a healthy baby NOT addicted to any drugs!!
