Drug addiction
Addiction is not only chemical dependency (dependence on drugs or alcohol).
Addiction has a range of highly stimulating behaviours which are potentially addictive, 'process’ addictions.
E.G: gambling, compulsive sexuality, compulsive overeating.

All addiction models "Substance addiction" "Process addiction" , see both addictions as the same disorder. Backed up by recent research into the neurobiology of addiction by medical bodies like ASAM and NIDA.
If you are suffering from a gambling disorder or addictive process other than drug or alcohol addiction, and the consequences of those behaviours are serious, then you may need treatment. Treatment for these disorders follows the same lines as treatment for chemical addictions.
Addiction treatment is conducted using a bio/psycho/social model. That means it is widely accepted by medical and psychological professionals that there are biological, psychological and social components to the illness, each of which need treating.
