If you have no actual knowledge of addiction and how it works, sure.

Well then how does one go about curing or treating their addiction?

Clearly you just take away their drugs. If they don't have any, they won't care enough to find more.

I get what you are trying to say but the Center for Disease Control recognizes addiction as a disease, so by the textbook it's a disease.

Fully agree, it is what it is. Semantics don't change it

I’d like to treat it more like an evacuation notice when a hurricane is approaching. In some high risk areas the government lets you know that if you stay, they will not be sending you help. Before you stay, you absolutely know the consequences and can decide to take your life into your own hands or not.
That’s how I feel about drug addicts.
what the frick are you even talking about?

The existance of Narcan doesn't do anything to push an addict further. It just saves their lives and gives them second chances. Nobody that's addicted to heroin has done less because they aren't aware of narcan.

You cannot win as a cop in these situations. Shoot him immediately because you KNOW that the bulge COULD be a gun. Play it safe and allow him to fire first. And of course no one expects a man to start shooting at people who just revived him.
This is why someone like Gravy needs a nice 70805 or 70802 ride along with 2 cops. He can see overdosing, violence of all types, and all around do no gooders.
Yeah, there are bad cops. Bad doctors. Bad grocery store owners. But I swear to be a cop in 2019, you need a set of brass ones.

BRB, going to inform the AMA and all those doctors that they're wrong because an idiot on the internet said so.

You know what the definition of a disease even is or why addiction happens?

The thing is, when someone is truly "addicted", you can take away whatever substance and get over the acute withdrawals - but then there is a period, sometimes up to two years, of "post acute withdrawals" - essentially peoples brains trying to get back up to speed. Long term addiction literally re-wires the brain and you aren't getting serotonin, dopamine and other brain chems like a normal, functional human.
So addicts undergo a long, long period of hopelessness, depression, malaise and when the brain is in that kind of depressed mode, not seeing any way out, a lot return to drugs.
This is in addition to the underlying mental disorders seen in many who get started as a way of self-medication and escape.

No it's not. Not in medicine.
The AMA agrees. The APA agrees. NIH agrees. CDC agrees. Only armchair experts with no experience disagree.

I think only in threads like these - not by actual doctors / researches / experts.
