MSHA: Drug-addicted babies on increase

“When you deliver a baby on Subutex [a drug used to treat addiction], the cry – it just goes to your soul,” she said. “It’s a high-pitched squeal from a newborn that you’ll never hear [otherwise]. And this is not a baby that can be soothed. They will scream and scream, whatever you do.”

http://www2.tricities.com/news/2012/mar/23/msha-drug-addicted-babies-increase-ar-1787032/ “If I can accomplish one thing today, it’s to tell people that these drugs are not safe,” Anderson said. “They’re not the best option. The best option is being clean from drugs and alcohol and smoking when you’re pregnant.”

Keeping Alcohol in the Spotlight: 6 Facts

”Alcohol-related deaths are preventable. In fact, heavy drinking, including binge and underage drinking, is the third-leading preventable cause of death in the United States. We must invest in education, screening and treatment efforts, so the public better understands alcohol's dangers, and a person struggling with alcoholism can get help -- before it's too late.”--Deni Carise
