We should also consider that there are huge problems with treatment methods used for any drug and alcohol abusers in the US as well as around the world.
First of all, most of them use the number of patients who passed the procedure as the number of success (proving the percentage of patients healed. Secondary, some of them (state rehab centers or private centers) use their patients as a source of free labor calling it rehabilitation and help. Last but not least, they are forced to go through a lot of processes, before, during, and after passing the rehab, which is causing them social problems in their society.

Watching Trainspotting is like catching glimpses into my family. Glimpses only because any of you who are addicts or like me related to them know that movie is not accurate. However, something about it fills me with that warm cozy family gathering feeling. It does not always kill the addict, sometimes it destroys the innocent relatives who have to watch.

for methadone they require a special license althoght to prescribe opioids in the first place nothing special is required. I swear to god they want us addicted to these stuff cause there's just so much profit behind it! For real, opioids are veing prescribed everyday but weed is still ilegal! We need to open our eyes. The whole system is wrong.

It's considered hard to combat mainly because most nations in the world have never actually tried to combat it. Instead they simply tried to combat opiod addicts through punishment, which will only worsen the mental and physical state of opiod addicts and result in them being more prone to addictive behaviour in the future.

Why else do you thing the USA military is still in Afghanistan? They have the best opium poppy production on the planet. The joint cheif's of staff have never had a problem killing their own people for profit. They are literally making a killing.

Why is iboga or ayahuasca not mentioned as a treatment for those addicted to opiods? They are certainly effective. It is even better than methadone, because it does not leave withdrawal symptoms unlike methadone and only one dose can be healing.

All the people I know that started abusing opioids started doing it because they thought it was fun. That's what Phillip Seymour Hoffman did. For me it's hard to have any sympathy for those kind of people.

This is brilliant. I never understood the basic science behind addiction and withdrawal. I understand addiction from a sociological point of view, but this science based explanation is absolutely brilliant.

Seems like pharmaceutical companies are just legitimate drug traffickers in lab coats. getting their customers addicted.
Very good and informative animation a 3 year old can understand.

The animation shown for dopamine at 2: 40 is beyond perfect! Along with the rest of the video. So important!
Side note: I wish Addison Anderson would narrate my life.
