Contrary to popular belief, addiction isn't a conscious choice.
It's a chronic illness, like diabetes or asthma, that responds to
treatment and deserves compassion. And yet, too many people expect
their loved ones to simply recover on their own without
interventions. Drawing on peer-reviewed research and decades of
expertise, Dr. Nzinga Harrison reveals the factors that predict
one's risk for addiction: biology and heritability, childhood
experience, physical environment, injuries and health conditions,
discrimination, and cultural influence. With revelatory anecdotes
and sobering data, Un-Addiction guides readers to unlearn what they
think they know about substance use, undo stigma surrounding
addiction, and uncover critical conversations that could end the
epidemic.
