Drug Addiction and Drug Policy: The Struggle to Control Dependence (Mind/Brain/Behavior Initiative)

Do drug addicts have an illness, or is the addiction under their control? Should they be treated as patients or as criminals? Challenging the conventional wisdom, the authors draw on recent debate in law, public policy, medicine, and biopsychology to show that these standard dichotomies are themselves false.
