Drug and Alcohol Addiction "Disease" Theory Never Proven

More than 50 years ago alcoholism was voted in to be considered a disease, however, it is still just a theory.

There has not been a single study that has been able to prove conclusively that addiction is a disease, yet most drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs available around Sandpoint, Idaho still tell addicts that they have a disease that will affect them for the rest of their lives.

This is not our philosophy. At Narconon Arrowhead’s renowned residential drug rehab center, we have been able to demonstrate that drug and alcohol addiction can be overcome, permanently, and that former addicts can go on to lead healthy, happy and productive lives free from substance abuse after leaving our drug rehab facility.
