Opioid Addiction and Treatment (2016x51)

Date de diffusion: Mai 23, 2016

Thanks, in part, to the generous support of the NIHCM, this month we are releasing four special episodes on Opioids. We hope you enjoy them. This week's episode: Treatment - The best way to deal with opioid addiction is to prevent it, but for a huge and growing number of Americans, it's too late for that. This episode looks at some of the pharmacotherapy and cognitive therapy options for treating opioid addiction, and looks at how we've so far largely failed to treat addicts.
