Quitting drugs is hard because addiction is a brain disease. Your brain is like a control tower that sends out signals to direct your actions and choices. Addiction changes the signals in your brain and makes it hard to feel OK without the drug. This video from NIDA explains addiction in simple terms and offers a hotline to help you or a loved one find treatment. For more information, visit http://www.easyread.drugabuse.gov

This and other videos that are sure to be posted in the next couple months make it much easier for the public to understand how the brain is responsible for the disease of addiction. While the brain is responsible for the disease, the individual is accountable to do something about it. Lots of resources out there!
