Compulsive sex, gambling, gaming, spending, and eating can fall into the category of addiction as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-disease-model\"><\/span>The disease model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dictionary definitions aside, addiction is often misunderstood to some degree. Furthermore, different organizations and individuals have their own varied \u201cdefinitions\u201d of addiction. Those who subscribe to the disease model frequently describe it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/nida.nih.gov\/publications\/drugs-brains-behavior-science-addiction\/drug-misuse-addiction#:~:text=Addiction%20is%20defined%20as%20a,and%20use%20despite%20adverse%20consequences.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chronic, relapsing disorder<\/a> characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite adverse consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason it\u2019s considered a disease by some groups is primarily that it changes how the brain responds where rewards (dopamine), stress, and self-control are concerned. As the brain changes, individuals are essentially forced into a position where they crave the substance or behavior until it becomes an unconscious act as opposed to a conscious choice. And these brain changes can persist long after an individual puts down the substance or stops the behavior. And, where substances are concerned, dependence can become so severe that withdrawing from the substance can have physical consequences that are potentially fatal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"criticism-of-the-disease-model\"><\/span>Criticism of the disease model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite overwhelming evidence that addiction is a disease of the brain, there are still a handful of critics out there who dismiss the disease model. The argument is that addiction is not transmittable, contagious, hereditary, or degenerative. Moreover, it\u2019s self-acquired, meaning the addicted person gives the condition to himself or herself according to the critics in this group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While certain aspects of this point of view are difficult to refute, addiction is hardly black and white. While most addicted individuals weren\u2019t forced to begin abusing substances in the first place, it\u2019s difficult to imagine that anyone would willingly ruin his or her health, reputation, career, and relationships. If overcoming addiction was as simple as making the choice to stop, addiction would be much easier to address and relapse wouldn\u2019t be as common as it is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"addiction-is-not-a-moral-failing\"><\/span>Addiction is not a moral failing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, the more common and universally accepted view of addiction now is that it is not, in fact, a choice. Very few nationally recognized substance abuse-focused organizations view addiction as a moral failing, as this idea is considered generally outdated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of how addiction is defined, it\u2019s difficult to argue that it isn\u2019t a problem that affects millions of people worldwide. And, while addiction may begin as a personal choice for most of us, in and of itself it is still a mental \u201cdis-ease\u201d as opposed to a continued personal choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, we can and do recover from addiction. And, while we can never be 100% \u201ccured\u201d of addiction, we can successfully manage it by empowering ourselves with the right tools. Lucky for us, there are millions of people in recovery all over the world, so we never have to walk the path alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kembali-recovery-center-can-help\"><\/span>Kembali Recovery Center can Help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kembali Recovery Center is here for anyone who\u2019s struggling with addiction. <a href=\"https:\/\/kembalirehab.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us today<\/a> to learn about our programs of recovery.
