Is there hope for individuals struggling with drug addiction?

Addiction is a misdirected search for the ecstasy of meditation; when you discover the true intoxication of inner awareness, the lesser highs will naturally fall away.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes—there is profound hope: addiction is a misdirected search for the ecstasy and silence of meditation. Offer a greater, lasting 'intoxication'—meditation that simultaneously awakens and blissfully dissolves the ego—and lesser highs fall away by themselves. He invites seekers to sannyas and deep meditation, a total dive into inner awareness that restores meaning, color, and joy permanently.

Yes: swap drugs for meditation—the bigger, real high that makes you joyful and clear without a crash, so other cravings fade.
