addiction is a treatable disorder. Research on the science of addiction and the treatment of substance use disorders has led to the development of research-based methods that help people to stop using drugs and resume productive lives, also known as being in recovery.

To address all aspects of drug use and its harmful consequences, NIDA's research program ranges from basic studies of the addicted brain and behavior to clinical strategies and health services research. NIDA's research program develops prevention and treatment approaches and ensures they work in real-world settings. As part of this goal, NIDA is committed to research that addresses the vulnerabilities and health differences that exist among ethnic minorities or that stem from gender differences.
There are approaches or recovery programs you may know of, like AA, NA, treatment centers, therapy, and even drugs.
