While ever so frustrating for those of us in the field of sud treatment and or in recovery, addiction is still viewed as a moral failing, lack of willpower or simply a bad choice, even when science clearly tells us it is a chronic brain disease that responds to treatment and has the potential for both recovery and reoccurrence.
