Thank goodness we started listening to biologists instead of psychologists... Addiction is a complicated neurobiological disease rather than a "disorder" of the "mind"

Dr.Montes, i am psychologist and I starting to do some research in the area, . please i will like to know your opinion on the following aspects:
If addiction is a phenomenon of learning, why the technique of exposure seems not to be efective?
the attentional bias for stimuli motivationally appetitive (eg, heroin) is distributed as during the development of addiction? when they begin to be automatic?
