Myths and Truths about Drug Addiction and Rehab
Addiction takes place in the portion of the brain known as the mesolimbic dopamine system. This system is not under the conscious control of a person. This means that sheer will power is not enough to get the person to stop using. This also goes for self discipline or simply being strong. Cravings are even stronger. Drugs alter the way the brain works. For this reason the addict needs to be taught learning, behavioral and cognitive skills to help him or her get back on track. Being in the right type of environment to foster these necessary skills is important as well.
