The disease model of addiction ( a la AA) has been thoroughly discredited by science. Indeed believing in the disease model is a primary determinant of relapse. The incredible work of Stanton Peele in the US is the route that "addiction treatment" should move towards.

Dr Gabor Mate has also done fantastic work on addiction. Stanton Peele seems to share some viewpoints with Dr Mate.

"Dr. Maté's approach to addiction focuses on the trauma his patients have suffered and looks to address this in their recovery"
