  • Title: A proposal for a monitoring and aversive feedback device to maintain drug abstinence or controlled drug use.
    Author: Brown CJ.
    Journal: Int J Addict; 1983 Oct; 18(7):1029-31. PubMed ID: 6642796.
    Abstract:
    A device implanted in a patient could monitor blood levels of addictive substances on an intermittent or continuous basis. Excessive levels of a given substance would trigger release of an aversive chemical agent into the bloodstream, in essence creating an artificial allergy. Implications of the concept are discussed.
