	American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse: Morbidity risk for alcoholism and drug abuse in relatives of cocaine addicts
		The heritability of drug dependencies is supported by preliminary studies comparing the concordance of drug dependency in monozygotic vs dizygotic twins reared apart[14].
		The age-corrected morbidity risks for alcoholism and for drug abuse were calculated according to the Stromgren method as the ratio of the number of affected relatives to that of surveyed relatives, modified by a correction factor taking into account the risk for unaffected relatives to develop the illness at a later age[24].
		Morbidity risks for alcoholism and drug abuse were also calculated separately for the relatives of patients with and without a lifetime history of alcohol dependence and for those of patients with and without a lifetime history of opioid dependence.

		OMT is a specific modality of treatment for opiate dependence, and is highly effective in resolving the signs and symptoms of addiction: e.g., preoccupation with substance procurement and self-administration, loss of control over amount and routes of consumption, and persistent or increasing use despite adverse consequences.

	Waismann Method Survey Indicates that Drug Dependencies are Often Supported via the Internet
		Findings are based on a survey conducted of patients receiving treatment for dependency to opiates such as painkillers OxyContin, Vicodin and Lortab, and the illegal narcotic heroin.
		Patients who have developed dependencies are forced to seek out other means of acquiring drugs, and the Internet has become a popular, albeit illegal method.
		Performed in a hospital intensive care unit, the Waismann Method involves cleansing the opiate receptors in the patient's brain of the narcotics while the patient is under anesthesia.

		I've always heard that drugs like steroids and marijuana aren't actually physically addictive, but they manage to hook people mentally if you know what I'm trying to say.
		The drugs that are more mentally addictive are the ones that usually come with, or indirectly induce, a feeling of euphoria.
		Drugs like ephedrine does brind a slight feeling of euphoria (some people do like the jitteriness) directly, so people who regularly use ephedrine don't like being away from it.
