Disease model of addiction

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Having observed this article for several years, it seems to serve no real purpose other than to vaguely describe the biological approach of modern medicine towards the treatment of addiction, which is already covered in that article. This article seems to be something of a straw-man coatrack article to be targeted by the Life-process model of addiction, a smaller, slightly fringe model that seems to devote a fair bit of time and resources simply hating on the mainstream approach.
