Diseases of Addiction

Contrary to what most may think, addiction is not a lack of self-control. It has been scientifically proven to be a complex chronic condition with aspects of both impulse control and compulsive disorders. Research indicates that dysfunction in the brain’s cortical regions significantly affects the cognitive regulatory process, which denies someone who suffers from addiction the normal regulatory responses that keep them from engaging in self-destructive behavior.

We at Indivior recognize the challenges patients face in seeking treatment for the chronic relapsing conditions and co-occurring disorders of addiction. We have a deep understanding of the patient’s journey and have built a patient-focused business model designed to meet this global crisis head-on.
