[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 647086, member: 18366"] I got more from it that the "just have enough belief that they can quit" that one can do it on it's own VS new medications that are available. Faith based or self help doesn't work for everyone as the article pointed out. Having been through an opiate regimen and Suboxone (pain management for CRPS) as well then cold turkey, let me say that I can not see how an addict can get off opiates. I think the best advice came that heroin users should opt or chemical treatment VS "cold turkey" 12 step type programs. I also agreed with the scientists who state that the heroin changes the brain structure and I don't believe any kind of "belief system" can overcome the damage that has been done to the brain. Also I found it profoundly sad how many young people are dying from heroin overdoses when there is medication available to treat this horrible addiction. Having known a couple whose son almost died from a heroin overdose I think every parent that has an addicted child around them should have Narcan at home just in case.
