Buprenorphine– A New Treatment for Heroin Addiction
Addiction medicine doctors consider addiction to be a chronic disease and treat it accordingly. Buprenorphine is one of the medications, which can be used to treat opioid addiction. Opioids are drugs like heroin, opium, morphine, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc., which can be abused and lead to tolerance and dependence. This means that the user's body becomes accustomed to ever-higher amounts, and, when the drug is stopped, there are symptoms of withdrawal. Even after the worst physical part of withdrawal is over, some patients still don't feel right for a long time and may relapse to using drugs again, just to “feel normal.”
The Link Between ADD and Drug and Alcohol Addiction
ADD, like Alcoholism, is rooted in biology. You can no more will the biological part of ADD away than you can an addition to heroin. ADD is a medical problem and the brain of a person with ADD functions differently from the brain of a person without ADD. The difficulties with attention, concentration, impulse control and activity level is part of their brain chemistry and thus, the way their brain functions. Medications can be the missing link.
