| Recent genetic studies and technologies have improved our ability to monitor brain activity and have enabled a greater understanding of how the addictive brain behaves. These efforts have made it possible to develop more effective medications for treating addictions.

with a support system such as a 12 step program and
holistic approaches such as amino acid supplementation
designed to reduce cravings for alcohol and drugs.
To learn more, see nutrition in
the holistic approaches section. |
