Researchers have developed models that reflect how addictions are formed. There are four major Behavioral Models of addiction. They are the Moral Model; Disease Model; SocioCultural Model; Psycho-dynamic Model; and the SocioCultural Model. According to the Moral Model, addiction is moral weakness. The person who is addicted is responsible. The Moral Model supports drug abuse as an option for all people, including those who are addicted. Addicts are considered to be bad characters. According to the Disease Model of addiction, substance abuse is a "chronic relapsing disease that affects the brain's structure and function". Research on the neurobiological causes of addiction has produced mixed results. The only treatment is abstinence. Socio-Cultural models attempt to explain why certain groups are more susceptible than others to substance abuse. It looks at how the marginalized can become more susceptible to addiction due to discrimination, poor life quality, low opportunity and other problems. Psycho-Dynamic modeling considers trauma and mental illness as precursors to addiction. Many rehabilitation centers will treat co-occurring disorders. This refers to substance abuse disorder that is also accompanied by a mental diagnosis.
