ABOUT
ADDICTION.
Addiction is often misunderstood. Many people believe that addicts can stop if they are simply willing to change their behavior. The fact is, addiction is a disease that impacts the brain. Stopping drug or alcohol abuse is not simply a matter of willpower. Drugs and alcohol can change the brain to foster compulsive use and abuse.
Addiction treatment usually requires a combination of medication and addiction counseling or substance abuse therapy. In addition, many drug or alcohol dependent individuals suffer from an underlying mental disorders. Addiction counseling and treatment methods must go beyond the addictive behavior and address any co-occurring medical, psychiatric and social problems.
Today much more is understood about how drugs and alcohol work in the brain, and we know that drug and alcohol addiction can be successfully treated.
