Addiction is not a disease

Addiction is not a disease

The statement, in a CMAJ editorial, 1 that addiction is a disease is not supported by the evidence and reads more like a political policy statement than a reasoned intellectual argument.

There has been a steady erosion of individual responsibility and loss of any concept of personal blame for bad choices. To quote comedian Flip Wilson, “It’s not my fault — the devil made me do it.” Calls to destigmatize addiction remove any sense of personal responsibility.

Addiction does not meet the criteria specified for a core disease entity, namely the presence of a primary measurable deviation from physiologic or anatomical norm.2 Addiction is self-acquired and is not transmissible, contagious, autoimmune, hereditary, degenerative or traumatic. Treatment consists of little more than stopping a given behaviour. True diseases worsen if left untreated. A patient with cancer is not cured if locked in a cell, whereas an alcoholic is automatically cured. No access to alcohol means no alcoholism. A person with schizophrenia will not remit if secluded. Sepsis will spread and Parkinson disease will worsen if left untreated. Criminal courts do not hand down verdicts of “not guilty by virtue of mental illness” to drunk drivers who kill pedestrians.

At best, addiction is a maladaptive response to an underlying condition, such as depression or a nonspecific inability to cope with the world.

The study on the neurobiology of addiction3 referred to in the CMAJ editorial1 looked at the brains of people with addiction after they had damaged them by their behaviour — brains were not examined in their premorbid state. This is analogous to saying that the sequelae of a traumatic brain injury were themselves the cause of said brain injury. Ironically, the title of the referenced article uses the term “disorders” not “diseases.”

Medicalizing addiction has not led to any management advances at the individual level. The need for helping or treating people with addictions is not in doubt, but a social problem requires social interventions.

Drug Addiction Is a Matter of Difficult Choices - NYTimes.com

science also shows addiction doesn't eliminate choice

The most common correlates of quitting were financial pressures, the threat of legal sanctions and the obligations of family life, particularly the expectations and needs of children and parents. Just as this pattern of correlates does not fit any plausible understanding of disease, it also fails to support conventional understandings of will power. A toxic mix of immediate pleasure and delayed penalties motivate excessive drug use, and the eventual use-dependent increases in costs and decreases in benefits bring addiction to a halt.

That most addicts end up quitting does not preclude the need for interventions. Most addicts keep using until the penalties of excessive use become overwhelming. The signs are the staggering monetary costs addiction exacts on society and the tragic personal costs for those closest to drug users, particularly children. Successful anti-addiction interventions emphasize that addicts can stop using drugs, encourage activities that can compete with drug use, promote fellowship, provide positive role models (addicts who have quit), offer opportunities for service to others and arrange immediate consequences for sobriety and relapse. These are common sense solutions to problems in living.

What research shows is that those we label addicts have the capacity to take control of their lives. It is time to reformulate drug policy and addiction interventions on the basis of this well-established finding.

Things won't get better if we as a community , keep believing in the non-sense determinism, psuedo science of addiction put out by big pharma

This whole "addiction is a disease" shyt is kind of a cop out

You got grown ass people out here trying drugs that they know damn well they shouldn't, now they're addicted because they have a "disease"

 

[HTXBreh]

These drug mixes they be rapping about are completely unreal too.You not mixing perc,adderall and xanax washed down with codeine. Then hitting the club

 

[HoloGraphic]

Depression is a powerful thing brehs. It's like a heavy storm cloud around you that you can't dissipate. So you blanket yourself in it. You think it's who you are. Then the drugs write the songs and depression fuels your fire and you burn out.

The party gotta stop sometime...

Super cop out. Addiction is difficult to break..yes but it isnt a disease

 

[Payroll]

Yeah. He was tweaking looking mad skinny in the complex sneaker video a few weeks back.
Edit:
Here's the vid

French looking crazy....

 

[GoldenGlove]

lookin like a straight fiend. Went to ER shortly after that vid came out.

The editor did his best at masking it too, so many cutaways, he was cutting off the host just rambling and talking out of turn.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

RIP. Didn’t really listen to his music cause the little I heard was just the squealing/crooning shyt that I’m so tired of, but it sucks hearing about a young dude dying, especially one that simply made music and wasn’t apart of any type of drama or anything.

The amount of rappers that have died in the past 2 years is insane, particularly the ones that died due to drugs.

RIP

A lot of people on this forum make jobs and light of the opioid shyt that's hitting white communities but if you know anything about our societal structure, shyt like that hits under privileged communities first. There are a lot of black people struggling with opioid addiction right now and it't not really discussed because the "face" of the problem is a white guy/girl in rural America. Yet it's ravaging many black communities down south, it's killing black people in inner cities, etc.

Rappers are making that shyt look cool but at the end of the day, people don't need rappers to tell them to do drugs. Look at the communities. You got people with no hope, no prospects, nothing. Those are exactly the type of people who fall into drugs, often, to take the pain of reality away. Got nothing to do with rap shyt.

He looked BAD in some recent-ish vids. Same thing is happening to French Montana right now. Yet this shyt is set up so that nobody talks about any of this. Everything is just a facade where you put on your designer clothes, put on your chains, and you good. These dudes are not good, they're addicted. More people are gonna die.

the ''yes men'' and the record companies gotta make sure the show goes on at any cost....

 

[TheNig]

So we know for sure that it was drugs.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

How’s lean still popular in 2019?

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Blaming future is corny.

3-6 mafia had that sippin on syrup song that was huge when I was a kid, lil wayne always rapped about lean, etc ...never felt an itch to try that shyt. At the end of the day, you are accountable for your actions. Cant blame future.

If you're told some shyt is addictive, then you try it and get addicted, that's on you.

[HARLEM AL]

It's like a drug addict museum all day every day

Literally. shyt is absurd and scary at the same time.

I could only imagine how that strip was in the crack era

Man the whole Harlem was like that!

 

[Ciggavelli]

I guess cancer, diabetes, and hiv are not diseases either. I mean, you smoked cigs, ate too much sugar, and had unprotected sex. You can just will yourself to be over all of those things because they’re not diseases. You don’t need medical attention, it’ll be fine. You just need to try harder and will cancer, hiv, and diabetes to leave your body. Medical attention is not required.

You see how stupid that sounds?
