  • Is addiction a disease or choice?

Some people think addiction cannot be a disease because it is caused by an individual’s choice to use drugs such as alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, etc.

In the early stage, it may be by choice but once the brain has been changed by addiction, most experts believe that a person loses control of their behavior.

  • Types of drugs

    1. Stimulants e.g. cocaine
    2. Depressants e.g. alcohol
    3. Opium related pain killers e.g. heroine
    4. Hallucinogens
  • Is addiction curable?

No, it is not curable but manageable.
