I Have a Question About “Babies Born in Addiction”?

Question by Anjel: I have a question about “Babies born in addiction”?
please help me understand (if you know)…
I know what addiction is (no cure)
I know what an addict is (once one always one)
so if a baby is born in his or her mother’s addictions (crack or heroin is what I’m looking into) will the baby ALWAYS be an addict?
What I’m trying to ask is since an addict will always be an addict will a “drug baby” born into addiction always be one and if that child ever did any drugs (later in life) will it cause an automatic relapse?

Answer by dizzkat
I will watch your answers as they come in- I never thought about the later affects of drug use on infants born with that drug in their system. My best guess would be that any drug entering the child’s system at any time will cause reactions we can only guess at rather than the expected ones. The neurologic and physical damage done by the drugs during fetal developement may alter the normal reactions to future drug use.

A Medicine that May Cure Drug Addiction: Ibogaine – News from Kron 4, San Fransisco. Dr. Mash is one of the few scientists in the world to study ibogaine, a mild hallucinogen that comes from the root of a shrub found in West Africa and was rumored to have the amazing ability to help drug addicts kick their addiction. “This didn’t come from the Salk Institute, this didn’t come from the Scripps Institute. This came from a junkie who took a dose to get high himself. So the original observation came from the underground,” says Dr. Mash. Observations from this particular underground are not likely to gain the respect of mainstream society, and ibogaine was no exception. Even the reserved scientist believes this ancient drug from Africa holds astounding promise for the modern world. “I think we’re going to see fantastic numbers. I think these numbers are going to be stunning,” says Dr. Mash. Ibogaine is advertised on the internet, but there is no guarantee of the quality unless it’s given under medical supervision. And for now, that can only be done overseas.
