Here's your answer...

Explanation:

In Addiction: A disorder of choice, Gene Heyman surveys a broad array of evidence—historical, anthropological, survey, clinical, and laboratory-based to build an argument about the role of basic choice processes in the phenomena that comprise drug addiction. He makes a compelling, multifaceted argument that conceptualizing drug addiction as a chronic disease (like schizophrenia or diabetes) is both misleading and erroneous. In developing his argument, he points out that the best survey data available indicate that most drug addicts quit their addiction, a fact inconsistent with a chronic-disease model. He illustrates how basic, normal choice processes can lead to addiction, arguing that people do not choose to be addicts, but that normal choice dynamics can lead them to that condition. He points to a variety of factors that keep most from becoming addicted, with a focus on the role of choice governed by choice-by-choice contingencies versus choice governed by the outcome of sequences of choices, a difference in an under-described activity called framing. His view is consistent with the most effective treatments currently available, and provides a basis for continued basic research on choice as well as research on treatment and prevention.

❥Although drug users choose to try the drug the first time, a long time drug addiction can cause mental and physical brain damage and psychological dependence, because the damage that is caused mentally and physically can cause long time recovery that spans over a lifetime. Through recovery comes triggers and the likelihood of relapse. The job as an addict is to crush those odds and make sure they are making the smart choices to avoid these problems and future health problems. Most drug users use drugs to cover up or fill a empty space so they don't have to face life's problems. Addicts continue to use because they don't want to face the aftermath which is detox and other problems that would come up; maybe problems within the family ("Drug use, abuse, and dependence”). Without help all they will do is spiral out of control physically and mentally. This could include depression, self harm, contemplation of suicide and the feelings of being unaccepted by family and friends or being an outcast. Many horrific things come with using drugs and to say addicts want this life is a crazy accusation. They are human; they are people just like us and our family and friends need us to help them overcome this disease. When we push them down and try to forget about them because we don’t want to own up to our part in this drug addiction. Family and friends need to come together to help solve the “real” problem behind the addiction (Leshner, Pg.7).

I believe that drug addiction is a disease not a choice. In the article “Drug Abuse” it states that, “The impact of drug abuse on society is made worse because many drugs can become addictive over time, causing physical and psychological dependence. Addiction has far-reaching consequences: it is not only self destructive but also hazardous to the health and safety of others.” Also this article states that, “Positive reinforcing, meaning this makes the person want to use drugs and it brings pleasure to any person who is in a normal state of mind, but drugs that provide relief from pain and other unpleasant feelings produce negative reinforcement.” Finally it says, “Certain drugs stimulate an area of the brain called the limbic system, which gives a pleasurable feeling or ’reward’ when a person does something that is necessary for survival, such as eating.” This shows that drug addiction is not a choice due to the fact that the limbic system is affected and that drug addiction can cause physical and psychological dependence, causing your body to need it to function properly. These facts give strong examples on why drug addiction is a disease not just a selfish act. This is important because so many people say drug addiction is a choice but with these studies it shows that it does become a mental disease.
