Researchers have a variety of models to help them understand how addictions develop. There are four main Behavioral Models for addiction: the Moral Model (or Disease Model), Socio-Cultural Model, Psycho-dynamic Model and Socio-Cultural Model. According to the Moral Model for addiction, addiction can be viewed as a moral weakness. Addiction is then attributed solely to the person. Moral Model supporters consider drug use a choice. The Disease Model of Addiction defines substance abuse as "a chronic, relapsing disorder that alters the structure and function the brain". The neurobiological aspects of addiction have been subject to mixed research. It is the only possible treatment option. Socio-Cultural models attempt to explain why certain groups are more susceptible than others to substance abuse. It addresses how marginalized communities are more susceptible to addiction through discrimination and poor quality of living, lack of opportunity, and other issues. Psycho-Dynamics considers mental illness and trauma to be precursors to addiction. Many rehabilitation centers will treat co-occurring disorders.
