This dataset contains the count of individuals with Medical Assistance coverage (MA) receiving any form of MAT (Medication-Assisted treatment) by case county. The counts cover calendar years 2015 - 2018. If a count field is null, then the count is suppressed due to low numbers. If the county is null, then the county is unknown.

This dataset summarizes the number of live births in 2016 or 2017 and indicates how many of those neonates or newborns on Medical Assistance (MA) were diagnosed in their first 90 days of life with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) (withdrawal symptoms or otherwise affected from maternal use of drugs of addiction).
