ADDICTION: Is It A Disease Or A Choice?

Have you ever heard someone say that addiction is a choice? What they probably mean is they think that the person could stop using drugs if they really wanted to. But addiction doesn’t work that way.

Not everyone who uses drugs indeed becomes addicted. People react to drugs differently. There’s no rule about how soon someone becomes addicted.

And it is a choice to use a drug for the first time.

However, the fact is that addiction is not a choice.

Science has confirmed that addiction is a chronic brain disease that can happen to anyone. Despite this, there is still a prevalent belief that addiction is the result of weakness or poor choices along with character or moral failing. 

The first time a person takes a drug, they might like how it makes them feel. They believe they can control how much and how often they take the drug. But drugs can take away their control.

If the person continues to use the drug, they might need to take the drug just to feel normal after a while. They might start taking more, just to get the same high. The person might keep using the drug, even though it starts hurting their life.

Science says that addiction should be looked at in the same way we view other chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and cancer. If this is true, why are those diseases are not regarded with stigma and shame in the way addiction is?

Well, addiction is a bit more complicated.
