'Pharmaco-therapy' is fast gaining popularity; Novel immunotherapies that are capable of blocking the effects of drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, phencyclidine, nicotine, and opioids from reaching the brain, are being developed and tested.

Saving Grace: Family Intervention

Family intervention is known to alter bad habits and behavior and is a reliable technique for alcohol or drug addiction, especially when all other strategies have failed. Family members or friends of an addict could resort to the intervention process to enable the person willfully accept help to come out of the addiction.
