I look forward to continuing to work with President Trump, the First Lady and with the Opioid Commission to find an end to this horrible crisis.” Lily’s Place provides treatment for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a syndrome that occurs after birth in infants suffering from opioid withdrawals. West Virginia has the highest rate of NAS in the country, and Lily’s Place handles overflow from hospitals in the Huntington area. The non-profit is also the first clinic to provide counseling and treatment to parents. ### Print Email Tweet Next Article Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
