A new study finds that treating teens hooked on a class of drugs called opioids with extended therapy can result in a better outcome.
Opioids refer to drugs such as morphine, and other powerful pain relievers that teens are illegally
obtaining to get high.
The study found that for a better outcome when it comes to getting teens off their addiction, is to treat long term with buprenorphine and naloxone as opposed to shorter types of therapy.
The drugs work together to help prevent withdrawl symptoms, thus making it easier for teens to be successfully detoxed.
For their study, teens who were addicted to drugs were randomly assigned either to take an increased level of the drugs, or a reduced level.
Both groups were weened off the drugs at different speeds.
The result was that the extended therapy group showed lower levels of opioids in their blood and urine.
Women taking folic acid or any number of vitamins to ward off the risk of cancer should know that they are not helping themselves in the least.

If you live with a smoker, chances are you will be more hungry than you would be if you lived with people who do not smoke.
This interesting fact comes to us from a study performed by researchers from New York and shows that children whose parents smoke are more likely to be malnurrished and underfed.
The researchers looked at more than 8000 households whom had previously participated in CDC surveys.
They found that 23% of households with children had at least 1 smoker, a number that rose significantly for low-income families.
Of these families 17% of children were food insecure, a fact that also was more prevalent in children of low-income families.
“We know that there are long-term consequences of food insecurity for children. They are more likely to do poorly in school, to have iron deficiency and anemia, and to have behavioral and social problems,” says study author Dr. Michael Weitzman.
