Mostly to note about research a push about how to fix the problem of addiction.
Society is the cause of addictions. Low pay small towns of small and fails of crap and the point of how to deal with it? Drugs! https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/how-everyone-became-depressed/201604/is-the-countryside-now-more-toxic-the-city
There is a bigger divide than ever in bigger cities vs the smaller towns or the poor in bigger cities the point is still there. Small towns are small for a reason. You make nothing you have nothing. In a world of a changing labor force out in the small town driving unsafe cars walking to work burning out before they get to work from the walk in the 110 deg summer temps. Or being poor as the same in the bigger city that are for the rich only with no help for the poor.
Just raise the pay! After working on removing the social issues causing the issue wake up and smell the coffee and take CBD if needed!
~~~~~Attraction to smell of coffee may help addiction treatment.
"We have known for some time that drug cues [for example, the smell of alcohol] can trigger craving in users, but here we show with a mildly addictive drug, that craving might be linked to an increased ability to detect that substance," Stafford explained.
Previous research revealed that people who were trained to associate an odor with something unpleasant later showed greater dislike of that odor. That suggests a possible model for conditioned odor aversion, the researchers said.
~~~~~Study finds CBD effective in treating heroin addiction
Cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive ingredient in hemp and marijuana, could treat opioid addiction, a new study says. Given to patients with heroin addiction, cannabidiol, also known as CBD, reduced their cravings for the illicit drug as well as their levels of anxiety.
"The intense craving is what drives the drug use," said Yasmin Hurd, the lead researcher on the study and director of the Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai. "If we can have the medications that can dampen that [craving], that can greatly reduce the chance of relapse and overdose risk." The available medications for opioid addiction, such as buprenorphine and methadone, act in a similar way, curbing cravings. But they are still not widely used. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, just one-third of US patients with opioid dependence in private treatment centers actually receive these kinds of medications. According to the 2016 surgeon general's report on addiction, only 1 in 5 people who needed treatment for opioid use disorders was receiving any sort of therapy.
