Addiction Campuses -CBD oil is beginning to receive a lot more attention, as more states legalize marijuana products. Clinical trials have indicated that CBD may be a potential treatment for many conditions, including epilepsy and anxiety. Now, a recent study reports it might also help curb opioid cravings.
Because opioid addiction is challenging to study, researchers often have to look at the specific symptoms, which tend to occur in three phases: intoxication, dependence, and relapse.
“CBD may have a role in helping in all three phases, but we don’t know for sure,” said Dr. Danesh Alam, medical director of behavioral health at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, “We have so much to learn about its [CBD] role in anxiety and addiction in general.”
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical component found in marijuana. Unlike other marijuana compounds such as THC, CBD does not get people high. Instead, CBD is known for its inhibitory response, which results in analgesic (pain relief) and anti-anxiety effects.
