Treatment professionals have know this for at least the 19 years I've been dealing with addiction. We have more and more science to prove this is a disease and yet no one seems to want to accept it. Is hating addicts preferable to treating a deadly disease that destroys the addict and everyone around them before it finally kills the addict and others around them? It makes no sense to me.
"ScienceDaily (2009-03-16) -- For decades, finding clues to substance addiction has been much like searching for a needle in a haystack. But researchers may finally be honing in on specific genes tied to all types of addictions - and finding that some of the same genes associated with alcohol dependence are also closely linked with addictions to nicotine, cocaine, opoids, heroin and other substances."
