Just yesterday I read an article about a vaccine for cocaine users. Apparently the researcher is in the second to last trial stage before he can present it to the FDA for approval. He hopes that sometime in the years to come he can get together vaccines for meth and even nicotine (he says that’s where the money is).
But, really, if you or your loved one is addicted now this means nothing for you. Five, ten or even fifteen years from now is a lifetime away for someone suffering from addiction. In the here and now addiction means a long recovery process that requires hard work and any support a person can get. The best place to start a recovery program is in the relatively sheltered space of a rehab facility where addiction can hopefully be wrestled to the ground because there is no access to the addictive material.
At Rehab Malibu, the program is focused on helping addicts struggling with alcohol and drugs of all kinds to get back in control of their lives. They use a variety of philosophies to make treatment programs that are more tailored and less cookie cutter for the participants.
If you know someone who is addicted, check out this facility as a possible place to suggest they get help. If you are addicted to drugs or alcohol yourself, find someone who can help you make this decision the right way.
