If you "treat" someone's addiction without teaching them how to properly vent stress, they only get more fucked up, then relapse anyway.

Problem the 2nd is viewing addiction itself as a pathology. It's a coping strategy with massive downsides, but it isn't an illness per se.

Talking about treating the body vs treating the mind is naive mislabelling based on theology and bad philosophy. Not a scientific viewpoint.
