Abstract
Over a quarter of a million infants each year are born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). There is a trend for treatment of NAS to move away from pharmaceutical to non-pharmaceutical interventions to manage symptoms. This paper describes the treatment model called Rhythm, Breath, Lullaby: First Sounds (RBL).
