Questioning Addiction Treatment & Framework

Does anyone feel like modern day definitions and treatments and addiction mantras are discouraging as hell?? Im honestly starting to suspect it’s just an industry wanting to make money and so they adopt all these frameworks where people who need help are constantly hearing big pharma’s view of it (most research is funded by them, thus research results have to reflect something they support) and now all addiction professionals and treatment centers follow the same exact protocol where they repeat the same shit to addicts (everywhere in this country) about how it’s a disease and biology we are stuck with and that it progresses and worsens and that we’re mentally sick and addicts for life no matter what - and while I do believe some people are wired differently and have more tendency to become addicted, I feel like every time I hear or read those type of statements it really fucks me up and makes me hate life even more.

Like what kind of a message is it that we’re all just sick in the brain and forever addicts (even if fully sober and clear for decades - they still want you to refer to yourself as addict…supposedly it’s so that we stay vigilant and not let the addiction catch us off guard, and maybe there’s some point to it, but also I hate big pharma and my trust in ANY of their solutions or research findings is basically zero. We know how much money there is in rehab and methadone/suboxone, and while I’m sure it helps people, I can’t help but think it’s all a money-oriented framework of addiction.

I’m gonna get downvoted to hell probably for not fully believing in the science that’s constantly pushed down our throat but I don’t care. I’m extremely doubtful and questioning everything.
