RULE #1 - Chemical Addiction is a BEHAVIORAL DISORDER first. It is not about the DRUGS - first. Most all persons get seriously confused about this today, too. If you do not treat the BEHAVIORS, you cannot help the ADDICTION!

There are reasons why it is so difficult to "treat addiction" today. "It's not what it appears to be - on the surface" of it all, we often tell people.

The appropriate treatment for Addiction has nothing to do with just "prescribing you another pill"!
