[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 576601, member: 59"] Buddy thank you for thinking of us, we are always open and eager to hear of new research. It's very ironic you should post this because just last week at my support group we watch part of an HBO special on addiction and they had a doctor who is doing research on this who explained all about dopamine and showed brain scans of addicts and how the dopamine receptors are very pronounced and the reason people become addicted is because drugs/alochol increases the dopamine in their brains far more than any normal pleasurable activity in normal people and they get addicted to that feeling and crave it and have to have it. Of course that is what they are trying to mimic with suboxone which has it's own problems. But my question at the meeting was why don't they find some way to lesson the effect of dopamine on the brain the the addict would not crave it, or of course develop a medication that is not addictive that just targets the dopamine receptor. I do believe some day they will have better ways to manage addiction. [/QUOTE]
