Health/Medical Title: Addiction Is Not A Disease Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 9. The government you kneel to says otherwise. All of their official pronouncements are gospel to you, aren't they? But you posted a youtube video of some guy in a car. Yeah - I guess he would be considered an expert to you.
Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences. The initial decision to take drugs is voluntary for most people, but repeated drug use can lead to brain changes that challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. These brain changes can be persistent, which is why drug addiction is considered a "relapsing" disease—people in recovery from drug use disorders are at increased risk for returning to drug use even after years of not taking the drug.
It's common for a person to relapse, but relapse doesn't mean that treatment doesn’t work. As with other chronic health conditions, treatment should be ongoing and should be adjusted based on how the patient responds. Treatment plans need to be reviewed often and modified to fit the patient’s changing needs.
#7. To: Deckard (#5) The government you kneel to says otherwise.And just because the government you abhor and continue to always regard with absolutely total disgust and obsessive hatred suddenly says something you agree with….you now accept the government’s word as your Gospel. Give me a fucking break … You have to consistently be one of the biggest contradictions in life….you have proven this to be true so many times.
#8. To: Gatlin (#7) suddenly Intelligent folks have known that addiction is a disease for quite sometime. Independent, non-government researchers have said the same thing. I only posted the link to NIH because it seems like official gobberment documents are the only thing you'll believe. Apparently I was mistaken because you seem to believe that a guy driving around in a car and spouting nonsense on YouTube is some kind of "expert".
#9. To: Deckard (#8) suddenly
No asshole….quite continuously showing your stupidity. I said SUDDENLY you now want to BELIEVE the government….the government you absolutely abhor and distrust, you can not SUDDENLY believe them. Amazzing….amazingly hypocritical, that is. Why do you NOW trust the government?
