A team of researchers at Indiana’s Purdue University is working toward curbing opioid addiction at one of its primary sources: the doctor’s office. In response to the high number of patients that develop addiction to prescription painkillers, and later often heroin, as a result of a legitimate prescription administered by their doctors, the team has been researching ways to address the clinical aspect of this pervasive and devastating public health issue that continues to kill tens of thousands of Americans per year. They recently made a significant breakthrough in the form of a new drug compound that just might be able to break the cycle of treatment and addiction.
