Why are addiction disorders so hard to overcome?
Addiction disorders are difficult to overcome for a number of reasons, not the least of which is their invisibility. Addiction disorders regularly go undetected until they are well developed and their victims deep within their throes. In a society that sanctions “Happy Hour”, social stigmas attached to these disorders keep people from seeking help even though few, if any, ever recover from this insidious disease without help. Untreated, the result is pain, hospitalization, heartbreak and death.
