A very close friend of mine wants to get herself away from drugs. She’s tried going cold turkey, but the withdrawal symptoms were too much for her to bear. She has just recently acquiesced to getting treatment. Help please.

You should look through the yellow pages to find contact numbers of centers near your area. Having a healthcare provider assess the condition of your friend would also be very beneficial, as this would help you decide what kind of treatment your friend needs. You can also ask a doctor to give you recommendations.
Good luck!

ASHG 2010 Mtg.: “Epigenetics of Drug Addiction” (Dr. Eric Nestler) – TO VIEW THE FULL WEBCAST OF THIS SESSION, GO TO: www.ashg.org ASHG 2010 Annual Meeting Concurrent Invited Session II: “Methylating the Mind: The Epigenetics of Psychiatric Illness” Speaker: Dr. Eric J. Nestler, Mount Sinai School of Medicine November 4, 2010 (Washington, DC) DESCRIPTION: Psychiatric illnesses are among the leading causes of disability in the world, though the mechanisms underlying them are still largely mysterious. Challenges in identifying genes for psychiatric illness may be due in part to the underlying etiologic complexity, and epigenetics likely plays a crucial role as it links genes and environmental exposure. In particular, recent evidence points to a role for epigenetic mediators of stress in major depression and drug addiction. This session will bring together pioneers in this emerging field, that has now become amenable to population-based epigenetic studies, including whole genome epigenetic analysis targeted at nongenic sequence that might be epigenetic targets of disease.
