Recovered from Addiction

We are advocates for real solutions regarding solving addiction.  For some people this might be stopping on their own, while for others it may include going to a long-term residential treatment center, or possibly somewhere in between.  The main point is that we are not advocates of programs or institutions that label addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is incurable but treatable.  This is simply not a true statement and is proven false every day by people who have permanently recovered and show now signs of relapse or disease.  Forgive us if we’re a bit critical of more traditional treatment practices, but we’re pretty disgusted with the amount of time and money and lives wasted on believing addiction is a disease and shoveling prescription drugs down patients’ throats in the name of help.
