Addiction is a progressive disease, characterized by a pathological pattern of chemical use, physiological involvement, and related physical, behavioral, social and emotional difficulties. Addiction negatively affects all persons who are significantly involved with an addicted individual, and significant others often respond in a manner that supports continued chemical use. Knowing this, we encourage those closely impacted by addiction to be involved in its treatment. The primary goal is abstinence from substance use.
