Ben: They tell us about prefront cortex & limbic systems but there's no one to guide me in real life when I come out & practice the skills.
Dr W: Training in Oz an eye-opener. Easier as a doctor or therapist treating someone there voluntarily rather than forced into system. There they had support services, make your own decision to get well.

Dr Winslow going through American Society of Addiction Medicine definitions of "addiction" (not confined to substances). In SG predominant addictions used to be opoids, now stimulants/meth/novel substances (?)
Stats—both total & repeat users in SG slowly going up, but hugely better than 90s with per-year 10-15K people.
Difficulty with "drugs are bad & people who take them are bad": seen as "morally weak", "bad behaviour" must be "punished out of them". Caning, jail time, institutions
In SG, recidivism, 50% of total drug abusers made up of repeat offenders. Methamphetamine has taken lead as drug of choice. Treatment for this not as refined right now.
