Drug abuse is generally considered a victimless crime, but research shows that a disturbing number of babies are born each year addicted to drugs. This program presents case studies of two pregnant women, lifelong addicts, who have entered Methadone programs. We follow the women throughout their pregnancies and deliveries. Remarkably, Natricia delivers a baby who is drug-free, but 18 hours after birth, Kim’s daughter must be given opium to relieve the intense symptoms of drug withdrawal. Health experts discuss the management of drug babies. Scenes depicting infant drug withdrawal may be disturbing to some viewers. (47 minutes)
