Note:

There are many paths to recovery from addiction. For a lot of people, treatment from professionals is necessary and treatment may also include medication. Addiction cannot be cured, but it can be managed. A person with addiction can regain a healthy, productive life. When used correctly, medicine can help you feel well enough to do the things you need to do to stay sober. However, medicine is not magic. It is a tool and works best as part of a comprehensive recovery program.
