Innovative, Family Centered Treatment
In response to pressing community health needs, Hushabye Nursery created an innovative new care model for family systems and communities impacted by the opioid use disorder. Hushabye Nursery opened its doors in 2017 as the first in Arizona and only third in the nation medical care model created by nurse practitioners to treat infants experiencing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).
12-room Inpatient Detox Nursery
We have a 12-room inpatient detox nursery customized to treat babies born with NAS and provide intensive outpatient family services as part of prenatal and postnatal continuous care. Hushabye Nursery’s staff is committed to creating a trauma-informed residential treatment environment that fosters inclusion and empowerment. Our staff builds trust while demonstrating empathy. Caregivers work with peer mentors and are taught how to support their newborn throughout the withdrawal process.
Intensive Care for Infants
Care for infants experiencing NAS is intensive. Traditional treatment approaches often involve admitting infants experiencing NAS to the NICU and pharmacological treatment, or the administration of opioids such as morphine and methadone.
Hushabye Nursery use of pharmacologic intervention is 4% compared with the average NICU use of 95%.
