Once, it was thought that you couldn't think your way out of a problem like Addiction.  As it turns out thinking IS the problem for an Addict.  With a Chemically changed brain, distorted thinking locks the Addict into a Sub-Culture.  They develop a false belief system that produces negative attitudes.  Ego defense justifies the need to satisfy the Overwhelming craving!  Criminal behavior develops.  This in turn, results in Consequences imposed by Society.  Sadly, Jail is the usual treatment prescribed!
