Mothers of Opioid-Exposed Newborns Find Treatment at Vermont Clinic
Two mothers trying to stay clean are coping with the consequences of drug addiction and its impact on their children.
For his NAS, Xzavier was prescribed Methadone -- a drug addiction treatment medication given to recovery addicts and newborns exposed to opiates. Every morning at 10 a.m., Blair gives a very small dose of Methadone, less than a fraction of a millimeter, to Xzavier. The medication is kept under lock and key at her motherÕs home nearby.Adam Desiderio / NBC News
