Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a group of problems associated with withdrawal symptoms of a newborn who was exposed to maternal opiate use while in the womb. West Virginia (WV) is of utmost concern as this state exhibits among the highest rates of opioid abuse and consequently, NAS. In this manuscript, we review factors associated with the prevalence of NAS in WV. We provide evidence suggesting that states exhibiting high Medicaid participation demonstrate a high NAS rate, further associating these two factors. Although a similar trend was observed in the substate geographic regions of WV, the presence of regional treatment facilities was negatively associated with NAS prevalence in WV, possibly suggesting that the establishment and utilization of more of these facilities may reduce NAS.
