Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: One approach is to administer a drug that blocks dopamine receptors, so as to prevent the reinforcing action of the drug of abuse. This, however, can lead to drug craving. Administering a long-acting drug that substitutes for the drug of abuse (e.g., methadone) may help during the drug withdrawal process. Another approach is to use partial agonists in hopes of dampening neuronal activity. A recently developed technique is to develop an antibody to the drug of abuse.
