In the next Background Briefings, we look at theories of addiction, beginning with the disease model. This model is central to the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the 12-step Minnesota Model.
“At the heart of this model or theory is that addiction is characterised by a person’s inability to reliably control his use of alcohol or drugs, and an uncontrollable craving or compulsion to drink alcohol or take drugs.”
