Misunderstandings Of Addiction

Decent Essays
Disease, mind, and brain, here they talked about the nature of addiction. They talk about two major misunderstandings throughout the article. They tell us they that do not tell whether they believe that an addiction is a brain disease or not. In the article they said that they choose to recognize this as a disorder and not a disease. I think that I could agree with them on this one because I feel like an addiction would be a disorder. When I think of disorder I think of some that not everyone has or does and an addiction to drugs is not something that everyone has or does. The second major misunderstanding that they talked about was that their talking about the addict’s brain and the addict’s mind doesn’t imply in any way an endorsement of

    arc Lewis, a developed neuroscientist, was once an addict himself. At certain points in his life he had addictions to cough medicine, alcohol, marijuana, methamphetamine, LSD, heroin, nitrous oxide, and forms of opium, so with good reason, the topic of addiction, its definition, and its causes are very personal and dear to his heart.

In the rest of his speech, Lewis shares his reasoning for his claim, comparing his work with the work and speeches of the other Nobel Conference speakers, in attempt to shed light on the many differences and similarities of their works. Addiction is not a disease.…

    However, as we learn more about the science of addiction, the disease model takes a firmer hold as the correct model. It is a model I firmly believe in, both from my readings and my clinical experience. Another model is that addiction is narcissism. The need to get “high” is a means to reduce the insecurity that…

However upon completing the assigned reading and unit notes that assumption had disappeared and the belief that the blended or biopsychosocial model was the most explanatory model worldwide. Addictions are very complex and experienced differently among people. The stages of addiction can be defined and viewed differently for each user, family, workers and society. These differing perspectives provide the opportunity for each individual case and support one may need or believe someone needs to change according to…

    Stereotyping addiction sufferers as immoral characters is not helpful. It is a shame-based concept that perpetuates the addiction problem and discourages a person from reaching out for help. Who would choose to feel worse about themselves than they already feel? This is why it can be so hard to enter recovery programs. It is deeply disappointing and disingenuous to see again how the media, professionals, and members of our society repeatedly demonize, marginalize and even re-criminalize a chronic, recurrent, progressive and ultimately fatal brain disease.…
