Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction. The financial impact on the US economy is staggering, but the human toll – the impact on lives and the lives of the person struggling with addiction – is immeasurable. Addiction threatens careers and destroys marriages. Even at its most basic level, any form of addiction harms a person’s health.

But most of us don’t treat addiction like other conditions that affect your health. Addiction is often stigmatized or hidden.

The Science of Addiction talks with the experts at the U-M Addiction Treatment Services, part of the U-M Addiction Center and to help listeners better understand what we know about addiction today.
