She may need medical attention if she is using drugs non-medically, using drugs not prescribed to them, or using alcohol or tobacco.There are several strategies to prevent the incidence of NAS, those include:
Primary Preventions Follow guidance of 2016 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, which addresses the effectiveness of opioid dosing and treatment, the benefits and risks, and strategies to avoid opioid misuse
Utilize prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) to avoid overuse of opioids
Provision of treatment for opioid use disorder among pregnant women
Non-medicine strategies via minimizing environmental stimuliHowever, there are some barriers to prevention which includes lack of consensus to screening tools to identify substance use while pregnant, stigma, provider bias, and legal consequences. Treatment
Treatment depends on the drug involved, the infants overall health, abstinence scores (FNASS scoring system), and whether the infant was born full-term or premature. It is recommended to observe and provide supportive measure to infants who are at risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome in the hospital. Infants with severe symptoms may require both supportive measures and medicines. Treatment for NAS may require the infant to stay in the hospital for weeks or months after birth. The goal of treatment is to minimize negative outcomes and promote normal development. Infants may be prescribed a drug similar to the one the mother used during pregnancy, and slowly decrease the dose over time. This helps wean the infant off the drug and relieves some withdrawal symptoms. Non-medication treatment
First-line treatment should begin with non-medication interventions to support maturation of the neonate.
It is not clear if one type of non-medication therapy is better than another. Common non-medication approaches include physical environment adjustments, swaddling, and breastfeeding. Adjusting physical environments
Infants with NAS symptoms may have hypersensitivity to light and sounds. Techniques such as darkening the room and eliminating surrounding sounds work to lessen the neonates visual and auditory stimuli. Swaddling
Swaddling (wrapping an infant firmly in a blanket) can help improve sleep, develop nerves and muscles, decrease stress, and improve motor skills. Breastfeeding
Infants with NAS may have problems with feeding or slow growth, which require higher-calorie feedings that provide greater nutrition. It is beneficial to give smaller portions more often throughout the day. Breastfeeding promotes infant attachment and bonding, and is associated with a decreased need for medication, may lessen the severity of NAS, and lead to shorter hospital stays.Most pregnant people who are taking buprenorphine or methadone can safely breastfeed their infant. Both buprenorphine and methadone remain in the human milk at low concentrations, which will reduce signs and symptoms of NAS and likely decrease the treatment time. However, there are exclusions in which it is not safe to breastfeed, such as an HIV-positive mother and a mother with history of street drug use or multiple illicit drug use. Medication treatment
Although non-medication intervention remains first-line treatment, pharmacological intervention, when appropriate and indicated, can improve signs of neonatal withdrawal.Common medication approaches:

Opioids
Opioids have shown to improve symptoms to a clinically safe level but may not affect length of hospital stay. Its common to slowly taper down to wean the infant off.
