[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, if the addiction in question is opiates, then there is a well established neonatal withdrawal protocol. Babies are given morphine by nurses following an assessment every 3 hours; it is called NAS scoring. The amount of morphine is gradually decreased as the baby navigates withdrawal. The process takes 1-4 weeks, starting at around 24 hrs of life on postpartum / nicu depending on the hospital set-up, and continuing in some kind of inpatient setting afterwards. The truth is that even if your goddaughter becomes clean, she will likely transition from opiates to methadone. It will make her a much more functional person, but the neonatal withdrawal pattern does not change - it is as hard for a baby to withsraw from [/quote]
