I'm an addict. alcohol, smoking, drugs, food, codependency, sex. I haven't found any solutions yet, but i'll let you know if i do. My brother is a heroin addict and is on methadone, but he relapses often. I don't think enough is being done to find a solution for addiction. There really are no effective long-term treatments.

Unlike other diseases/conditions people feel like addicts deserve it, or are to blame for having the disease. so it doesn't get as much sympathy as other diseases, and doesn't get as much charity money, so there isn't as much being done to fix it.
