What Is Addiction

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual’s life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in harmful behaviors despite negative consequences. At M2 the Rock, we believe these behaviors are entangled with mental health and that treatment is possible with the right connections in place.
