Since we're talking about treatments for addiction, I'd like to give a shout-out to ibogaine[0], a psychoactive substance.
Apparently after a successful treatment with ibogaine, it's like an "addiction switch" has been turned off in your brain. I was interested to read this article hoping there would be more about the "addiction switch", which I find a fascinating concept.
Instead, maybe with this treatment, the switch simply gets burned away...
