CHOOPER's GUIDE PHILOSOPHY on DRUG ADDICTION and ALCOHOLISM

  • We believe that alcoholism and drug addiction are biopsychosocial disorders.
  • We believe that addiction is a brain disease.
  • We believe that the disease of addiction (whether it is an addiction to alcohol or prescription or illegal drugs) is treatable.
  • We believe that not only is recovery is possible, it is a reality.
  • We believe in equal access to treatment and that there is no “one” or “right” way to do treatment.
  • We believe that medication can be a crucial factor in treatment and in recovery.
  • We that the dogma and intolerance of 12 step organizations towards medication assisted recovery is in direct conflict with the spiritual context of their origin and is a causal factor in relapse and death.
  • We believe that  alcoholism and drug addiction are medical not moral or legal problems.
  • We believe that the drug war was ill conceived, that it has failed and that it is one of the greatestsocial justice issues of this century.
  • We believe that the stigma society attaches to alcoholism and drug addiction perpetuates and escalates the problem.
  • We believe that the language used in treatment and recovery promulgates stigma and discrimination.
  • We believe that alcoholism and drug addiction are chronic diseases and those afflicted should be treated with the same level of care and dignity as those with other chronic diseases, eg., diabetes or hypertension.
  • We believe that understanding the five key risk factors for developing the diseases of alcoholism and drug addiction (genetics, social environment, childhood trauma, mental illness and early use) is critical.
  • We believe that inappropriate referrals result in higher recidivism rates.
  • We believe that no one should have to die from alcoholism and drug addiction.
