Question by [email protected]: Would drug addiction be considered a medical or social issue?
I know that many consider addiction to be a disease.It has all of the symptoms of a life threatening problem.I was thinking of this today while reading in an online drug addiction forum,

But was wondering what the general idea of non NA members would be.
So what do you think?
