Answer
HI Amber,

Drug addiction is a serious disease over which the addict has no control. It affects their personality and it is just as well hat you separated from him. Violent behaviour is a common side effects of drug taking and should not be tolerated.

However drug addiction can be treated when we realize that most if not all drug addicts are hypoglycemic (look up our web site). That means hat the first step in treatment is going on hypoglycemic diet.  Please read:

Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/drug_addictions_nutritional_disorder.htm...

and discuss this with a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychotherapist, if self-help therapy fails.
For more information use our "Search our Web Site" and look for articles containing topics entered in search engine.
