Addiction is a complex disorder characterized by a compulsive use of drug or alcohol. People who are addicted feel an uncontrollable and overwhelming need for alcohol or drugs. Addiction causes functional and structural changes in the brain. When such changes occur, it becomes more challenging for a person to stop alcohol or drug addiction. Treatment involves psychotherapy and dealing with other psychiatric and social problems which leads to sustained recovery and a life without drug abuse.
Acupuncture: Thin needles are inserted at the pressure points and this may relieve craving for drugs and reduces withdrawal symptoms.
