Answer by SWSunflower
I am an Addiction Specialist (Intake/Assessment/Crisis and Family Group Counselor) for many years. Some uninformed people still see addiction or substance abuse as a character defect, we now know that this is a fallacy. Addiction can come in many forms, sexual, food, tobacco, drugs, alcohol, gambling, shopping, etc. The main problem lies in the OCD or Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder that does seem to be more prevalent in some familes than others. I would ask this doctor that you are “interviewing” what his or her background is, what they believe is the root cause of substance abuse, what treatments that they use and do they recommend aftercare or support groups (of the 12 step model)? Any “doctor” that says they can “cure” addiction should be avoided, as it is a continual
condition to be aware of on a daily basis in order to live a more harmoneous life.
Good Luck and Be Well
