Thus, should we have some solution or advice about the sleeping disorders? I look up the answers and question, and i haven't seen anyone mention about that problem. Thank you very much for your informative blog! Sincerely, Tran Hoang Dear Dr. John Fitzgerald,

In order to treat addiction, all these factors must be taken into consideration. This is why addiction treatment at this time needs to reevaluate the effectiveness of their punitive measures and put more focus into consulting healthcare professionals as well as addicts themselves. I think that at some level, we do realize that there is no single approach to treating even the same types of addictions, let alone different ones. However, that realization can be quite scary to society because such a tactic requires much greater effort than simply putting individuals behind bars until they have ‘learned their lesson’.
