Metabolism genes
Researchers have studied inherited differences in how substances are processed. These findings provide limited context and do not determine an individual's experience.
The Science
Gene RecoveryGenetic context for recovery conversations
Gene Recovery summarizes selected genetic research in plain language, including uncertainty and limits. The material is educational and should be considered alongside personal history and circumstances.
Pharmacogenomics
Research findings can vary across people and studies. Gene Recovery presents them as educational context, not individualized advice.
Risk context
Substance-use patterns are shaped by many factors, including biology, environment, history, and support. Genetic information does not determine an outcome.
What a report can and cannot say
Gene Recovery material explains studied genetic markers and the uncertainty around them. It cannot predict a person's future or replace support from a qualified professional.
