Description

Understanding addiction as a chronic illness can help us approach it with compassion and clarity. Dr Nzinga Harrison draws on decades of expertise to reveal the factors that predict one's risk for addiction, including biology, childhood experience, physical environment, injuries and health conditions, discrimination, and cultural influence.

Through revealing anecdotes and sobering data, Un-addiction challenges common misconceptions about substance use and stigma surrounding addiction. By unlearning what we think we know and uncovering critical conversations, we can work towards ending the epidemic of addiction.
