Mindfulness therapy can restore the ability to savor, which may reduce cravings in individuals with opioid use disorder.
In a new paper published today in the journal Addiction, researchers from Loyola University found that individuals with opioid use disorder using Ozempic had a 40 percent lower rate of overdose compared to those not on the medication. Similarly, those with alcohol use disorder had a 50 percent lower rate of alcohol intoxication when treated with Ozempic. These results suggest that Ozempic may have potential beyond diabetes and weight loss, opening avenues for addiction treatment research.
