Addiction has been compared to a contagious disease and the more our attitude toward addiction approximates our attitude toward contagious disease, the better will be our understanding and control of addiction. Physicians can do much towards combatting the drug addiction problem by keeping themselves thoroughly informed of the characteristics and recognition of addicts and by an informed attitude toward the handling of an addict which constitutes adequate quarantine and institutional treatment.
