Addictions are formed through associative learning, also known as positive and negative reinforcement. Standard treatment methods involve avoidance and substitution; avoiding the people, places and things that act as reminders of the addiction and substituting the negative habit with another, healthier one. Mindfulness as a treatment for addiction discourages avoidance and encourages experiencing the craving and simply not acting.
