It means that the mother was taking a dependency drug such as opioids while she was pregnant. This meant that some of the drug was also given to the fetus and his/her brain became used to having it, to the point where it couldn’t function without it. Our brain is like a child, if it gets to slack off for a while and not do something for a while, it forgets how to do it/ survive without instruction
