Drug Addiction; Choice or Disease?

This is a common debate on my Facebook and most of them are annoying to debate with. So I brought it here for more educated women to talk about. What would you say?

Some things to consider:

Did the addiction start with medication prescribed by a doctor?

If you do think it’s a disease, should treatment be covered (partially or fully) by health insurance? (Particularly state issued insurance, but all other insurances as well)

If you do not think it’s a disease, do you think treatment should be more accessible? Less?

Please don’t be hateful or rude towards others opinions/experiences 💕 you can debate without fighting
