Description
Contrary to popular belief, addiction isn't a conscious choice. It's a chronic illness, like diabetes or asthma, that requires treatment and deserves compassion. And yet, too many people believe their loved ones can simply recover on their own, and without treatment. Drawing on peer-reviewed research and decades of addiction treatment expertise, Dr. Nzinga Harrison reveals the factors that predict one's risk for addiction: biology and heritability, childhood experience, physical environment, discrimination, and cultural influence. With revelatory anecdotes and sobering data, Un-Addiction guides readers to unlearn what they think they know about substance use, undo stigma surrounding addiction, and uncover critical conversations that could end the epidemic.
