Its NOT a brain disease! What leads to addiction for each person is personal and specific to them. Like ingredients for baking cookies but each “cookie” is different. So for one person trauma may be a factor for others it may be socioeconomic for others it may be a low pain threshold for withdrawal for some it may be a combo of all. Its super complex. But its surely not a disease. Im with dr. Lewis. Its developmental.
If there is "progress" in determining the causes and treatment of addiction, why are more and more people dying from it? Shouldn't we consider a different approach?
There are two parts to the answer. First, just because there is better scientific understanding of a topic doesn't mean the authorities that be are doing anything about it. We knew for thousands of years lead was toxic and it took over 50 years of litigation to ban its use on gasoline. Second, not all drugs are equally addictive, deadly or available in time.

sounds like "we don't want less addicted, we want more money to cure addicted"
