This report contains a critical review of existing addiction theories and explores how these can be organised into an overarching structure to inform how addictive behaviours are assessed, prevented and treated. This model is not limited to illicit drugs, but can also be applied to alcohol, tobacco and even non-pharmacological addictions, such as gambling or compulsive use of the Internet.
