Addiction is classified as a mental illness and there are many treatments available for addiction depending on one's poison.. 
If a smack head gives birth to a baby, chances are that the baby will be admitted to NICU and have to go through withdrawal. This is treated with various medications and can take weeks, sometimes months.... These babies shake, sweat, sneeze a lot and have a very high pitched scream (if you heard one you wouldn't forget it). They are irritable to handle, don't feed well or sleep well for that matter.............Now you tell me, is that baby ill???
