[QUOTE="donner, post: 3265239, member: 277"] For those interested, Radio Lab did an interesting story on the concept of addiction, and our history of treatment. Including a long look at how Americans have generally treated it as a failing of character, even when there is some evidence that it can be a problem with brain chemistry (i believe the example used is a light switch that is stuck in the 'on' position for some people vs others whose switches operate normally). It also looks at the 'crutch' that some people experience with addiction that goes beyond the substance (things like 'i've been drinking for so long, i don't know who i am when sober' kind of stuff). [URL='https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/simple-fix']The Simple Fix[/URL] My wife and i found it very interesting, given our experiences with our son's birth mom and her addiction issues (and subsequent successes using a shot for treatment with her addiction issues*) *there remain other issues, including viewing other substances as not an issue since 'my issues were with opioids'.
