DRUG ADDICTION HAS A PHYSICAL TOLL
Long Beach: Town Hall Meeting Discusses Success and Failure of Intervention.
LONG BEACH - Addiction is a disease and the relapse of addicts and
alcoholics is expected. That was the central theme of the first
Intervention Town Hall meeting Thursday night.
"Addiction is a disease ... it's a chronic relapsing condition ... with physiological change in the brain," said Dr. Dennis Fisher, one
of several panel experts who spoke at the meeting, created by by A&E's
"Intervention" TV series, Charter Communications, the National Council
for Alcohol and Drug Dependence, Inc., and The Salvation Army.
