Please click in the above link to read an article written by Prof David Nutt (Professor of Psychopharmacology), in this article Prof Nutt discusses the biological, medical, legal and ethical aspects of treatment of addictions and makes suggestions around the shift in perspective from considering addictions as a moral disorder to a chronic illness, requiring treatment such as chronic medical disorders (for example diabetes). This article touches on the bigger picture and the implications regarding criminality and the reduction of drug related social and medical issues that stem from effective treatment.
