I was watching this show about addiction and I thought it was so interesting; there are new treatments detox centers are using to fight cravings. Dealing with withdrawals inhibits a lot of users to quit because they have such a big fear of the pain of withdrawals. There was this one man and he was addicted to meth, he would inject it and even did it right before he went into treatment. What they did was detoxified his whole body, ridding it of meth and then set up electrodes on his chest that erased the cravings from his brain. So it’s like his body didn’t realize that he was addicted to meth.

He said that his cravings reduced significantly. However he did talk about a really vivid dream he had where he was using and he woke up with horrible cravings. I can’t imagine how he felt, but having the treatments done helped his recovery a lot and he seemed really thankful after the show to not be haunted by his meth addiction.
