Addiction, what constitutes addiction?
There is a lot of controversy as to whether a person is genetically or biochemically predisposed to addiction or alcoholism, this is a subject that has been debated for years within the rehabilitation and scientific community. The "disease concept" is one school of thought, embracing the idea that addiction is a disease that is inherited, "it runs in our family," is a common belief.
Addiction is a learned behavior, no one ever intends on becoming an addict, it is a consequence of drug and/or alcohol use. There is an invisible line, that when crossed is hard to get back to the other side. There are good drug and/or alcohol treatment centers that can help end the cycle of addictive behaviors and can rehabilitate a person giving them tools to manage their lives with the use of mind altering substances.
