Two distinct medical disciplines treat addiction in the United States: Addiction medicine and addiction psychiatry. This article argues that physicians recovering from alcoholism or drug abuse played a key role in creating the field of addiction medicine, and that the development of addiction medicine inadvertently contributed to the formation of addiction psychiatry. Addiction medicine's undercurrent of recovery, specifically questions about the knowledge that recovering physicians call on to treat addiction, remains central to an ongoing professional conflict between addiction medicine and addiction psychiatry.
在美国，有两个不同的医学学科治疗成瘾问题：成瘾医学和成瘾精神病学。本文认为，从酗酒或药物滥用中康复的医生在创建成瘾医学领域中发挥了关键作用，并且成瘾医学的发展无意中促成了成瘾精神病学的形成。成瘾医学中康复的暗流，特别是关于康复医生用于治疗成瘾的知识的问题，仍然是成瘾医学和成瘾精神病学之间持续的专业冲突的核心。
