Can We Cure Addiction?
"Can we cure addiction? Absolutely not! This is because addiction has caused unrecoverable changes, alterations and death to brain cells. Brain cells cannot be regenerated, so the changes caused by the drug abuser are permanent. What we can do is arrest the illness, teach new living techniques, rewrite the brain to bypass those addicted cells and give the addict in recovery a worthwhile life. It can't be cured but addiction can be effectively prevented and treated."
Darryl Inaba, Pharm.D.
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS
The life-long journey in recovery starts when an addict finally admits and accepts her or his addiction as life-long and surrenders to the long-term, one-day-at-a-time treatment process.
OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS
Continued participation in group, family, and 12-step programs is the key to maintaining long-term abstinence from alcohol and drugs. The addict must accept that addiction is chronic, progressive, incurable, and potentially fatal and that relapse is always possible.
"I know that I have another relapse in me. I don't know if I have another recovery in me."
