What Do You Think of This Quote?
Question by Claire K: What do you think of this quote?
I was reading a book about a woman who overcame drug addiction. It is a very old and odd ball book but I found it in an old bookstore. This quote struck me. What do you think of it?
“For three years, I swam in thick, gooey molasses which was sometimes warm and sometimes freezing. Sometimes very dark as well. I was quickly pulled out twice, but then slipped and fell in again. I am coming out again, this time, on my own.”

How Can I Help My Big Brother Overcome His Drug Addiction?
Question by cal: How can I help my big brother overcome his drug addiction?
My big brother is having a relationship with Mary Jane (marijuana). He knows that it’s not good for him but he says he likes what it does to him so he continues to use it. The thing is, Mary Jane’s really affecting his life. He’s getting failing grades in school (he’s really smart so I don’t know how that happened) and he’s getting worse at baseball. He even spends more time locked up in his room with Mary Jane than hanging out with anyone else. I think he really needs help. He’s such a gifted person and I don’t want his talents to go into waste. We’re from Eastport, Maine.

Answer by Ladycat
With successful buprenorphine treatment as part of a complete treatment plan including counseling, the patient can put the addictive behavior into remission. The patient may still be “physically dependent” on opioids, (as they were prior to treatment) but this can be managed medically and reduced over time by a slow and gradual taper off of the medication. Physical dependence (often mistaken for “addiction”) is not a dangerous medical condition that requires treatment, addiction is. Addiction is damaging and life-threatening, while physical dependence is an inconvenience, and is normal physiology for anyone taking large doses of opioids for an extended period of time.
