Abstract

In a heroin filled society, the effects of overdose have touched many of us. Drug overdose has become the  leading cause of injury deaths in Indiana and 36 other states (Groppe, M. 2015, June 20). Although the media is reporting the casualties of drug overdose, no one is reporting ways to avoid drug overdose. A form of classical conditioning can help the addict survive his addiction until he can overcome his addiction and regain control of his or her life
