ABSTRACT:
Addiction to opiate drugs, e.g., heroin, is treated by administering a beta-adrenergic-receptor-blocking drug, e.g. propranolol, which is found to block the rewarding and euphoric effects of the narcotic and to prevent the recurrence of hunger for the narcotic after withdrawal with methadone.
