Alcoholism "disease" theory remains unproven

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 in Spring Valley village, New York tell addicts that they have a disease that will affect them for the rest of their life.

This is not our philosophy. At Narconon Arrowhead, approximately 70% of the graduates of our drug and alcohol rehab remain drug free.
