Nice Quote

The Brains of Addicted People “have been modified by the drug in such a way that absence of the drug makes a signal to their brain that is equivilent to the signal of when you are starving, as if the individual was in a state of deprivation, where taking the drug is indispensable for survival.  It’s as powerful as that!” – Dr. Nora Volkow, National Institute on Drug Abuse Director.  We say it all the time here at Turning Point Centers, “the consequence is never greater than the high.”  That’s why the most amazing people, when they become addicted, completely change and do things you would never fathom.  It’s always up to someone or something to force an addict to get treatment…interventions work!
