Addiction is rarely explained by choice alone.
Research consistently points toward a complex interaction of personal, social, and biological factors.

MYTH: Addiction is simply a choice.
FACT: Research shows addiction is influenced by genetics, neurobiology, mental health, trauma, and environment.
Understanding complexity doesn't remove responsibility. It helps explain why support and treatment matter.
