It is BIOGENETIC
- You don't choose to acquire it.
- A family history of drug/alcohol problems may put you at greater risk.
It is a PRIMARY Illness
- If you have chemical dependency, it's not a symptom of some other problem.
- If you have chemical dependency and other problems, your chemical dependency will interfere with treatment for other problems unless the chemical dependency is also treated.
It is a CHRONIC Illness
- It won't go away because you ignore it, don't like it or don't want to believe you have it.
- It's not "just a phase."
It is a PROGRESSIVE Illness
- Without treatment it will eventually get worse.
- It usually gets worse more quickly for women and young people.
If left untreated, addiction can be FATAL
- Drinking and driving
- Overdose/alcohol poisoning
- Disease
- Organ Failure
- Violence
- Suicide
