Are Drug-Alcohol Addictions a Diagnosed Mental Illness or Is It a Way of Life That May Involve Disorders?

Question by AnonymousGuy: Are drug-alcohol addictions a diagnosed mental illness or is it a way of life that may involve disorders?
I know different then normal sexual orientation and reactive attachment disorder are not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and so while psychologists look into them they are not a known mental illness. I wondered what alcohol and drug addictions are. I recently described alcoholism as largely out of ones control because it is a disease. Also is family member of a drug addict or alcohol considered a mental illness as I hear it is a family disease. It is not in my family so I don’t know alot about it but was asking someone who does have it in their family and recently saw their mother go sober after 15 years.
