Brain Disease: Alcoholism and Addiction Disorders
Although the addiction disorder often remains undiagnosed and untreated, the facts about alcoholism and drug addiction show that 20% - 50% of hospitalized patients are known to suffer from addiction disorders. The total number of patients treated in primary care settings with addiction disorders ranges from about 15% - 30%. Additionally, up to 50% of those diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses are also found to be suffering from the brain disease of addiction.
Informative documentation regarding alcohol facts and addiction facts that will be available to you during your treatment for addiction will also include information regarding the lack of understanding in the healthcare profession and the reason for this problem. This includes the fact that only about one-percent of the medical school curriculum is applied to the study of addictive disorders.
