社交孤立如何助长阿片类药物成瘾

Opioid addiction is deeply tied to social isolation, which disrupts brain circuits in the striatum responsible for reward and connection.

Social connection, not just willpower or medication, can rewire these brain pathways toward healing. Recovery thrives in communities where people authentically relate and support each other.
