New Program To Treat Opiate-Addicted Infants

According to the Associated Press, nearly seven percent of babies born in Bemidji have drugs in their systems at birth.

A new training program is teaching foster parents how to remove infants off opiod addictions in their homes.

Alyssa Bruning, a registered nurse at Sanford Medical Center, started the program.

In Minnesota, within the last five years the number of infants born with opiods in their systems has doubled.
