Drug to Fight Gambling Addiction
Gambling is a great pastime and is enjoyed by many. As with every pastime, if one becomes too addicted to an action or habit, the gambling pastime stops being fun for both you and the people around you. With these thoughts in mind, two American university researchers claim that they have discovered a drug that helps stops addictive behavior, including gambling.
The drug, Nalmefene, was studied during a clinical trial and was reported to successfully block the mental cravings which are generally experienced by gambling addicts. The researches said that if the tests begin to remain so positive, the anti-gambling drug could be ready to hit the market within 2 years. The drug is also reported to not only treat the addiction of gambling, but also alcoholism, kleptomania and some sexual addictions. All of these addictions stem from the same part of the brain.
The researches said that it was important to understand that the addiction to gambling is not a psychological problem, but rather a medical one that can be treated. In their study, gambling was considered as a disease that needed treatment and cure. Now that this drug has been found, they hope that it will help the estimated 7% of American adults who are gambling addicts. Treatment programs will probably be required along with the drug in order to fully treat the problem, psychologists added.
