COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Costa Mesa-based DNA4Addiction is changing the game in opioid use disorder treatment and harm reduction with their non-invasive DNA test which provides consumers with information on their potential genetic predisposition to developing opioid use disorder which studies show can contribute 30-40% to the development of an opioid use disorder.
"We want the DNA4Addiction's kit to empower people to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. With this knowledge, individuals can take proactive steps to mitigate risk and seek appropriate support and resources," said Sarah Cox, CEO of DNA4Addiction.
With the DNA4Addiction testing kit, a simple swab can help individuals find out if they have a genetic predisposition for opioid use disorder. By examining 15 genetic markers, including factors such as neurotransmitter activity, reward pathways, and sensitivity to certain substances, individuals' results are categorized into different risk levels, such as High Risk, Moderate Risk, or Reduced Risk. Armed with this knowledge, individuals can now make decisions with this key info in mind, whether it's deciding to avoid certain medications or being extra cautious about recreational drug and alcohol use.
Bob Forrest, spokesperson for DNA4Addiction said, "Knowledge is power. The DNA4Addiction test is a valuable tool that gives you the opportunity to think about your relationship with drugs and alcohol and helps parents get the hard conversations going with their kids."
Those with a family history of opioid use disorder may know they have a predisposition to substance abuse, but for those wanting more peace of mind when going about their lives, they can use their results from a DNA4Addiction test to take proactive steps to minimize risk, aid in their family planning, and more. For parents concerned about their children's future health, this testing kit can be used as a tool to seek guidance and prepare, prevent, and protect them from becoming dependent on opioids.
