In this DVD, Dr. Kevin McCauley explores the most important question about addiction: is it a choice? Or a disease?

Filmed in spectacular High-Definition video, Dr. McCauley takes you on a journey through the State and National Parks of Utah using the varied landscape to describe the areas of the brain involved in addiction. Dr. McCauley turns complex neuroscientific concepts into easy-to-understand visual images that will help people seeking recovery feel understood, and their families and friends feel hope that recovery is possible.

If you’ve ever pondered the idea of addiction as a disease, or if you’ve ever engaged in a debate on the matter, you will enjoy this DVD. Come along as Dr. McCauley lays out the arguments both for and against the conceptualization of addiction as a disease or as a choice, and then reviews the latest research to arrive at the correct answer.

(Spoiler Alert: it’s a disease ... of choice!)
