In response to community need, Hushabye Nursery created a new care model for families and communities affected by the opioid use disorder (OUD) public health crisis.
Hushabye Nursery is now offering short-term medical care to infants withdrawing from opioids. The new facility, located at 3003 E. McDowell Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85008, allows families to stay with the baby 24/7.
The innovative program serves the entire family with a trauma responsive detox center for infants born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and intensive family-based services.
Some services provided include:

- Lactation support
Outpatient
- Counseling and Trauma Therapy (including EMDR)

Mercy Care awarded Hushabye Nursery a grant to expand programming. The grant is part of SAMHSA’s Arizona State Opioid Response Grant (SOR), administered by Mercy Care in Maricopa County. The treatment and recovery projects in the SOR grant address capacity gaps, expand the network of providers and increase access to resources for individuals with OUD/stimulant-use disorder and in OUD/stimulant-use disorder recovery, including those considered under and uninsured.
