[QUOTE="klmno, post: 495591, member: 3699"] I think most tx centers use a scale to show the 'stage' of addiction a person is in, based on the evaluation. It doesn't mean the person isn't an addict/alcoholic but not all are in the latter stages of it. Some are functional and not physically addicted- cravings can be psychologically and not necessarily physical. They say true physical addiction comes toward the latter stages- I [I]think[/I] right before the last stage and the last stage being where the liver is severely damaged, but I'm not positive about that part. I think of it as being similar to the stages of cancer-still, the person has cancer. on the other hand, obviously there are people who are horrible abusers but not addicts. [/QUOTE]
