Thomas Kosten, MD, from the Baylor School of Medicine discussed the topic during the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting in Atlanta.

He added that they have also seen that increasing the dosage is not as important as finding the right delivery method to help these patients who need help to fight various addictions.
