Summary
This chapter discusses the relevance of addiction to the law in the United States. Current law pertains almost solely to substance addictions, as there is no legal status pertaining to most behavioral addictions. Particular emphasis is placed on the law’s impact on the provision of care and research of addiction. The conflicting legal concerns for confidentiality of treatment and research, on the one hand, and apprehension of addicts who break the law, on the other hand, are examined.
