The Challenge of Addiction

Compare and contrast two types of addiction—one that is substance-related, and one that is not substance-related, such as food, work, sexual, or gambling—that currently affect society. How does the addiction affect, from a neurobiological and physiological view, the individual, families, and society?

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper exploring the two addictions.

Include the following:

•   The variances of addictive substances

•   The effects addictive substance or other addictions have on neurobiology and physiology

•   The role of family systems on the addictive process

Include at least two peer-reviewed scholarly articles to support your conclusions.
