i do not believe addiction is a dissability,i see it as a health issue, and although it differs from others health issues as people are seen to have choice, but really addiction is a compulsion or need to use no matter the harm, but like most health issues you can only recover if you accept treatment, i do believe a pre-disposition to addiction exist and although i wouldnt consider it a disabilty in such terms it can be seen as one due to the fact it is already there and up to the person to be extra careful around substances and always keeping in mind the earlie they start to use the more likely addiction will resultso not esactly a disability but more a health issue that can be managed or terminal depending on treatment
