Does anyone have any experience with using electroconvulsive treatment (shock therapy) for addiction?
Does anyone have any experience or information about Electroconvulsive Therapy (shock treatment) being used for addiction?
I’m not looking for other treatment suggestions, please just answer my question.

I have a cocaine addiction, I need to talk to my friends about it but the problem is, one of my friends mother and father died from the very same addiction. I watched his mother slowly and painfully die. I can’t figure out a way to bring up a touchy subject like this. Can anyone help me out?
I thought I should mention this one, I already have been through rehab for alcoholism. Witch kind of complicates things for me a little bit more.

since abstinence from these two drugs causes a dopamine insufficiency? I know I could read up on this, but I would like to hear the opinion of many at once.

anything at all?

My son is active duty Army with 9 years service. He is divorcing his wife of 8 yrs, due to her drug addiction and child neglect. She failed a court-ordered drug test 2 weeks ago by showing positve for cocaine, and there have been 2 complaints of child neglect made to Texas’s Children’s Protective Services. CPS is planning to take the children away from her and put them in foster care. How can he get a discharge so that he can care for his children, instead of them going into the foster care system. One child is special-needs infant with neurological issues requiring visits to pediatric neurologist. I am the grandmother but can’t care for them, due to my age and my medical issues (heart and circulatory problems)
