Answer by Lila
At one time addictions including alcoholism were considered disabilities. And those with addictions were eligible for Social Security Disability. It was determined because they had a choice in the addiction and could stop it is not disability. A disability is now considered to be a true physical or mental disability. The thinking was that by supporting the addicted person that they were enabling them to continue with using alcohol or drugs. That many more would have an incentive to stop.

I really think that if alcohol or drug dependence, you are pretty much recovery, but the rest of their lives. A “cure” I guess means the use and treatment of problems in a healthy way, but I do not think it is, you can go ahead and drink again. Some people just can not handle.
