• addiction
  Although some types of addiction are rather harmless, there are certain types of compulsive cravings that can have devastating to our health and our lives. What is really scary about these compulsive cravings is that it could not be appeased easily. In most cases, the cravings are so intense that the person would do just about anything to satisfy him/herself.
  
  
• addiction counseling
  You don’t have to go to an expensive psychiatrist in a suit in order to get addiction counseling. There are many licensed therapists and counselors all over the place. One of the best addiction counselors I ever met was a registered NHS nurse in England.
  
  
• addiction intervention
  One of the great new therapeutic treatments for addicts of any kind was to for the families and friends of the addict to hold what was called an “addiction intervention”. This is when the addict is surrounded by everyone who cares about him or her and told to get help, because the addiction was hurting them.

  The makers of the anti-convulsant drug Topamax (active ingredient topiramate)– now most often prescribed for migraine prevention – hope that it can also help alcoholics loose their desire to drink. The goal is to give Topamax to alcoholics who want to quit drinking.
