Drug addiction may be the only medical disorder that has the effect of convincing the patient that he is fine and that everyone one else has a problem. It is a perplexing and dangerous disease and there is no way to determine who will become an addict, and who will not. Recovery can require professional treatment, support from family and friends, dedication, a bit of luck and multiple attempts before an addict regains control.
