Is there a drug around for just about everything?

It saddens me to see that these days people think that they can just take a pill and the problem will go away.
I am also aware that there are a lot of people coming to acupuncture treatment with this kind of attitude, especially with more and more clinical studies showing the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating addiction and psychological issues.

I like the suggestion at the end of this article:
http://www.cdha.nshealth.ca/programsandservices/addictionprevention/acupuncture.html

"Acupuncture is not a quick fix, but it will relieve a lot of the discomfort of "kicking the habit" while it restores the body's energy and internal functions to normal. Used along with other treatments, such as counselling, it is a strong aid to recovery. Acupuncture is most effective with a series of treatments over a period of time."
