To begin with, modeling is the process that helps scientists understand a specific phenomenon while providing special conditions for its existence. More specifically, it is the “simplification” of the real-world conditions provides an opportunity to neglect different factors to provide a qualitative conclusion concerning the object of learning. From a drug addiction perspective, biopsychological and spiritual models represent the specified isolated “world” where personal influence does not exist so that only the individual themselves might change their minds.
On the one hand, the biopsychological model considers psychological, biological, and sociocultural factors that might determine personal addiction. Consequently, the model implements the notion of failure to integrate into society from cultural, biological, and psychological perspectives (Hovarth et al., n.d.). On the other hand, the spiritual model represents the specification of personal relations with God. More specifically, it is God who determines the rules of living in society. As a result, in case of failing to comply with the rules prescribed by God, the person spiritually disconnects themselves from the special “valuation” system and becomes an addict. Finally, both models made a significant impact in studying addiction as a psychological phenomenon in society (Hovarth et al., n.d.). However, when implying their theories in 21st-century society, it becomes clear that a wide diversity of factors influences a person to decrease their self-significance. However, when the spiritual or biopsychological factors dominate in being a source of an individual’s addiction, the studies provide a qualitative result of the outcomes and possible risks of such addiction.
