UK youths: grieving mothers call for safe spaces as under-18 drug treatment gaps widen

BBC investigators find rising numbers of under-18s seeking drug and alcohol treatment in the UK, but there are no state-run specialist residential facilities for under-18s and only a few beds in private facilities, with care often fragmented across services. Three mothers, whose sons died from addiction, blame the lack of coordinated support and funding for preventable deaths. Experts urge a national strategy, more residential beds, and earlier intervention, while funding is promised through the Public Health Grant, highlighting a postcode lottery in access to treatment.

Targeting Neurons to Break Drug-Related Memories and Treat Addiction

Research into how reward memories are stored in the brain and how they differ between natural rewards and drugs could lead to targeted treatments for addiction, including the use of psychedelics to potentially reset harmful neural pathways. Understanding the specific neuronal ensembles involved in drug-related memories may help develop therapies that reduce drug seeking without affecting essential survival behaviors.

"Oregon Governor Signs Bill Recriminalizing Drug Possession: What Comes Next?"

Oregon will revert back to criminalizing drug possession, including fentanyl, after a bipartisan vote in the Legislature ended the state's brief experiment with drug decriminalization. The new law, House Bill 4002, allows for the prosecution of drug dealing and aims to facilitate access to medications for opioid addiction. The bill also introduces deflection programs, giving local governments, police, and prosecutors the option to divert individuals found with small amounts of drugs away from arrest and prosecution and into treatment. The changes are set to take effect on September 1, with the state allocating $211 million for deflection programs and other services.

Promising New Drug Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis Targets Excitotoxicity

Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have developed a small molecule compound that shows promise as a potential new treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). The compound targets the glutamate system, which is involved in the damage to myelin, a protective sheath around nerves in the brain and spinal cord. In pre-clinical studies, the compound reduced MS-like symptoms and repaired damaged myelin in animal models. The researchers are now seeking industry partners to advance the compound towards clinical trials.
