Facts About Addiction

Addiction is a chronic brain disease, not a moral failing. It changes brain structure and function, affecting judgment, decision-making, learning, and memory. Addiction is treatable at any stage. Medication-assisted treatment combined with counseling is the most effective approach for opioid addiction. Recovery is a lifelong process, and relapse does not mean failure.
