The disease model is based on a predictable process that are fused into three constructs, i.e. organ, defect, and symptoms which defines addiction as a disease (Pleasure Unwoven, 2016). Likewise, Brooks & McHenry (2009) describes a disease as a predictable array of signs of illness or problems, i.e. loss of control increase in substance tolerance, and premature death (if untreated) associated with addiction. The disease model offers clinicians a logical understanding of the affect substances has on the brain that will eventually hijack the brain’s normal sequence of decision notification, i.e. dopamine craving pleasure through substance use and glutamate gives it permission to use substances despite consequences. The psychological rewiring

Moreover, normally this communication process between the midbrain and cortex enables the brain to recognize and learn things in the environment that are good for survival (Pleasure Unwoven, 2016). Clients want to know if they remain abstinence how will their cravings subside and will they ever feel normal.
The disease model is initially characterized by some people are predisposition to addiction due to their brain’s altered structure and functioning. Comparatively, Cloninger, Sigvardsson, & Bohman (1996) study characterized alcoholism inheritance requires the presence of a distinguishing genetic antecedent and environmental components that culminate in two alcoholic subtypes Type I and Type II.

7). This model synergizes the different structural levels, i.e. macro factors and micro systems of a community. The premise is the intergration of biological (gentics), psychological (behavior), and social (community) possessions are fundamental contributors to the subjective and objective health of the community. The social aspect does not account to government or law enforcement; that is outside of its control. Consequently, the biopsychosocial model specifically calls for a discussion on how the individual functions within their social environment and contextual responsibility the individual places on their own contribution in facilitating substance misuse (Buchman, Skinner, & Illes, 2011). My understanding of biopsychosocial systems approach is that the community has a responsibility to intervene through expelling the addiction resources or allowing access to the addiction resources. Buchman et al. (2011) do not portray people as only controlled by the state of their brains but by what behaviors the community deems acceptable toward the use of
