Debunking Myths: Addressing Critics of The Freedom Model
What the freedom model represents is incredibly simple, and that is that you are the answer to your own problems, that there's nobody else- no force, no treatment- that's going to go into your mind and change it for you, and you don't have a weakness, an inherent weakness, and you certainly don't have a disease called addiction.
