When science began to study addictive behaviour in the 1930s,
people addicted to drugs were thought to be morally flawed and
lacking in willpower. Those views shaped society's responses to
drug abuse, treating it as a moral failing rather than a health
problem, which led to an emphasis on punitive rather than
preventative and therapeutic actions. Today, thanks to science, our
views and our responses to drug abuse have changed dramatically.
Groundbreaking discoveries about the brain have revolutionised our
understanding of drug addiction, enabling us to respond effectively
to the problem. This book provides scientific information about the
disease of drug addiction, including the many harmful consequences
of drug abuse and the basic approaches that have been developed to
prevent and treat the disease.
