However, there have recently been significant discoveries in neurobiology concerning addiction. In the near term it may be possible to immunize a drug addict so that the drug has no effect.

Knowing the genes that predispose a person to addiction could lead to medical treatments to help prevent addiction (or help in drug recovery).
