YES!

Changes are happening in addiction treatment, mainly around the concept of what addiction really is. People tend to use escape mechanisms to deal with issues they're unaware of or are unwilling to deal with. Tennis, XBox, Moto-cross, opiates, movies, ampthetamines and many other forms of escape become daily routines.

Escape mechanisms with physical addition can create mental and physical health issues. With this in mind, it's becoming clear addictive behavior has to be treated on two fronts. The underlying issues need to be brought to the surface and dealt with and then the physical addiction can be interrupted successfully.

When the physical addiction is interrupted, without fixing the underlying mental/physical issues which triggered the escape behavior, the individual is left with a feening for the escape mechanism. The issues must be treated before the physical addiction is addressed.

Every Day There are More

and more addiction clinics turning to the therapeutic effects of high CBD cannabis. The physical medicinal properties help significantly with the symptoms of withdrawals, reducing cravings and providing a much needed calming effect. The mental low-level meta-programming aspect of cannabis helps the individual work through their mental issues easier as well. Fantastic tool, one we'll see a lot more about in the near future. :D

Go Be Awesome!
