Attorney General Pam Bondi convened March 3 the Statewide Task Force on Prescription Drug Abuse and Newborns to discuss and release the group’s 2014 report. It provides an update on the implementation of the Task Force’s recommendations to combat Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). NAS refers to a group of medical complications associated with the withdrawal process newborns typically experience after birth if their mothers have abused prescription drugs during pregnancy.
