Synopsis

When a baby is born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) as a result of drug exposure while in the womb, finding an appropriate setting for the newborn is essential to its survival. Lily’s Place, a recovery center serving the Huntington, West Virginia, area, focuses on working with both child and mother to help heal the family from chemical dependence. Offering the highest level of care in a nurturing, home-like atmosphere, Lily’s Place also operates at a fraction of the cost of a hospital stay. In How to Create an NAS Center: A New Model of Care for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, the cofounders of Lily’s Place provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for creating a low-stimulus, medically appropriate environment for the care and treatment of infants born with NAS. Including detailed information on setting up nonprofit status, bylaws, articles of incorporation, and staffing, this book details the entire process of creating a nuturing residential treatment facility for babies experiencing withdrawal. Full of wisdom and insight from a team of specialists with over sixty years of experience in the NICU arena, this book is an essential resource for anyone hoping to establish a thriving NAS center in their community.
