Is addiction a disease?
The good news is that no matter how severe the alcohol or drug problem may seem, most people with a substance use disorder can benefit from some form of treatment.
In the past, society saw alcoholism and drug addiction as a moral flaw. Popular “treatments” included jail, being locked in asylums and church-led prayer. Not surprisingly, these methods mostly failed.
Today we know addiction is a brain disease. It causes deep and lasting changes in the brain. Like other long-term diseases, addiction can be managed well. Modern treatments are based on research. They help people fight addiction’s strong effects on the brain and behavior. They help people take back control of their lives.
Today’s methods work very well. Of patients treated for drug abuse, 40-70% stay drug-free. About one-third of those treated for alcohol problems have no more symptoms 1 year later. Many others cut their drinking a lot and report fewer alcohol-related problems.
Every patient accepted into our Treatment Program must agree to strictly follow the program’s Policies and Protocols. They must also truly want to be sober from addictive substances.
