Addicaid - Addiction Recovery Support
A new episode of Radiolab takes a sober look at the throbbing, aching, craving desire states that return us (again and again) to the object of our addictions… and discuss some available treatments.
They begin with reporter Amy O’Leary’s story. She was fed up with her ex-boyfriend’s hard-drinking, when she discovered a French doctor’s memoir titled The End of My Addiction. The fix that he proposed seemed too good to be true. But her phone call with the doctor left her, even more intrigued. Could this malady – so often seen as moral and spiritual – really be beaten back with a pill?
Then they talk to addiction researcher Dr. Anna Rose Childress, addiction psychologist Dr. Mark Willenbring, journalist Gabrielle Glaser, The National Institute of Health’s Dr. Nora Volkow, and scores of people dealing with substance abuse as they try to figure out whether we’re in the midst of a sea change in how we think about addiction.

If you’d like to hear more from Nora Volkow you can watch her and other top addiction researchers at last year’s World Science Fair..
