3 The concept that substance addiction is an illness is not, nevertheless, universal. Some would argue that dependency is not a disease because: Addiction is not transmissible or infectious. Dependency is not autoimmune, hereditary, or degenerative. Addiction is self-acquired, implying the person offers the condition to himself. Advocates of this method of believing put much more emphasis on the social and ecological aspects of addictionone advocate declares that addictions might be "cured" by locking addicts in a cell where there is no access to substancesinstead of on the brain changes that occur as a result of compound abuse.For example, it is real that the majority of drug abuse starts with a choice (although in a lot of cases substance use began with a prescription from a medical professional for a real medical problem and progressed into abuse). However while no one required an addicted person to begin misusing a compound, it's hard to picture somebody would voluntarily destroy their health, relationships, and other major areas of their lives.
