Coffee & Shopping: When does a habit become an addiction?
The presentation by David Stern and Ross Nagler will address the issue of addictions. We view addiction as a chronic, relapsing disease of the brain, not a character flaw or moral deficiency.
Our discussion will be focused on the following four questions:
– When does a harmless habit, even coffee drinking, become an addiction or dependency over which the individual has little control?
– Is there a biologic basis for what is going on with addiction?
– How does one treat a person with an addiction?
– What is special about the approach that Integrated Addiction Care (IAC) Associates uses to help patients with addictions?
