Reflection Quote: Alan I. Leshner, Director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse, defines drug addiction as:
“Drug addiction is uncontrollable, compulsive drug seeking and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences.”
Merriam-Webster defines uncontrollable as being free from control by a superior authority. It also defines a compulsion as an irresistible, persistent impulse or obsession.
What does Alan I. Leshner’s definition of drug addiction mean to you both as a driver responsible for your own actions and as a driver sharing the road with other cars, pedestrians, and cyclists?
What Are the Drugs Used for Addiction Treatment?
Question by blair a: What are the drugs used for addiction treatment?
I am especially interested in those that are used to counter heroin addiction. I do know about methadone, but aside from that, what other drugs are used?
Best answer:
Answer by colleen_li
The other kinds of medications used for the treatment of heroin addiction are: naltrexone, naloxone (used in cases of overdose), and buprenorphine, among others. Buprenorphine is fairly new, but it seems to be an appealing alternative to methadone since the effect of just a single injection can last for up to 6 weeks. Keep in mind, though, that medications alone won’t be enough treatment for heroin addicts. They also need therapy, counseling, and even rehabilitation.

Answer by stick man
I’m on the kansas version Medicaid. I have never used it though. Does his booklet that came with Medi-cal list the drug treatment programs? Or could his social security worker tell you who would take him for rehab? In the KS book there was a short list of who would treat drug/alcohol abuse.
