Addiction NOT a disease…

Addiction NOT a disease…

The way I see it, addiction is NOT a disease.  It’s something else entirely.  However, as is the case with alcohol addiction, it can and it often does result in secondary disease processes like wet brain and cirrhosis of the liver.  Obviously addiction can be a “progressive process” and lead to death, but these facts, even taken together, do not make it a disease........

Hi Thomas, I have a couple of your guys at the transitional house. They loved your place, and both seem to be doing well! I will definitely be referring to you! Thanks for what you do.

I'm hearing you Robert, there are other models that work ~ not simply the 'disease' model.

Totally agree addiction is a disorder of choice. If addiction was a disease we would seek the medical community in the scientific community for a cure. But we send people to Alcoholics Anonymous for treatment AA is not a treatment
