NATURAL RECOVERY FROM HEROIN ADDICTION

Conventional wisdom among clinicians and researchers in the field of drug abuse and addiction is that heroin addicts seldom, if ever, overcome addiction without treatment. Occasionally researchers have speculated that there may be something akin to spontaneous remission among addicts, but until recently it was thought that the numbers and percentages of such recoveries were very small (5-15%) and insignificant. New evidence suggests that the rate of natural recovery may be much higher than expected. Furthermore, new studies suggest that addicts who do not go to treatment recover at approximately the same rates as those who do go to treatment. This paper reviews the literature in an area which has received little attention of drug researchers spontaneous remission. The paper reviews all the research studies that have looked at the phenomena of the "natural" recovery from heroin addiction natural in the sense that some addicts manage to stop using heroin and not become re-addicted without the help of treatment intervention. Some areas for future research are also suggested.

The Psychology of Cyberspace - Computer and Internet Addiction

A heated debate is rising among psychologists. With the explosion of excitement about the internet, some people seem to be a bit too excited. Some people spend way too much time there. Is this yet ANOTHER type of addiction that has invaded the human psyche? Psychologists are not even sure yet what to call this phenomenon. Some label it an "Internet Addiction Disorder." But many people are addicted to their computers long before the internet enters their lives. Some people are extremely attached to their computer and don't even care about the internet. Perhaps we should call the phenomenon a "Computer Addiction." Also, let's not forget the very powerful, but now seemingly mundane and almost accepted addiction that some people develop to video games. Video games are computers too... very single-minded computers, but computers nevertheless. visit us to find out more!

Treating Cocaine Addiction With Viruses

La Jolla, CA. June 21, 2004 -- Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have designed a potentially valuable tool for treating cocaine addiction by creating a modified "phage" virus that soaks up the drug inside the brain. They coated the virus with an antibody that binds to molecules of cocaine and helps to clear the drug from the brain, which could suppress the positive reinforcing aspects of the drug by eliminating the cocaine high.

We are here to advise, support and train individuals and organisation in relation to habit forming/ addictive behaviour.

What's the best treatment for heroin addiction?

A guide to the different approaches for treating heroin addiction. Some people wean themselves off heroin without medical help - like 20 year old Thoa, who gave up heroin when she became pregnant. What helped her succeed, she says, was moving far away from the friends that went with her heroin habit. But many people who try to give up keep returning to heroin use and need professional help to stop. One reason why heroin is hard to give up is because stopping can make regular users feel unwell for a few days. Treatment to help people get through this stage is called "detoxification" (detox). Some people "detox" in special clinics or at home with the help of a GP and support of family or friends. "Detox" takes about one week. GET HELP HERE - NOW!
