Substance abuse and addiction is an often misunderstood disease. In reality, it’s a chronic brain disease where parts of your brain’s pathways have been muted, making you, the addict, powerless over your choices.

    Following the introduction of the brain-disease model of addiction, proponents and opponents have emerged to argue for or against a neurocentric view of addiction and the importance of brain circuitry in treating addiction. The following discussion will discuss the societal pros and cons of labeling addiction a brain disease and evaluate whether brain circuitry is necessary for the treatment of addiction in order to illuminate the benefits and drawbacks of the brain-disease model for individuals, like Dr. Smith. Labeling addiction as a brain disease can be beneficial in the contexts of political expediency and the de-stigmatization of addicts. As discussed by Satel and Lilienfeld (2013, p. 56-7), the brain-disease model has been politically…

    People often make the mistake of thinking that the addiction recovery process ends when the client completes the rehabilitation treatment program either from an in-patient or out-patient treatment Centre. Fact is addiction recovery is a difficult lifelong process and continued support, contact, and monitoring of the client during this stage is very crucial. (‘substance abuse Aftercare manual’ , 2015) therefore the purpose of this qualitative research method study is to establish how clients create meaning of a specific situation by analyzing their point of view, attitudes, understanding, knowledge, values, feelings, and experiences in an attempt to guide their point of view regarding the situation (Creswell et al., 2007) The most high risk period of relapse is between 30-90 days where 40-60% of clients will relapse after discharge from rehabilitation treatment program because it is at this particular period that the client often finds it difficult to adapt easily back into society and if an aftercare program ( relapse prevention plan) is not put into place the client might relapse.
