I wouldn't be surprised if the brain chemistry patterns were similar (enough) to substance addictions for a lot of heavy users, and afaik the only truly sustainable advice for addicts is to stay just stay clean (because addiction is strongly related to loss of self-control). The question is whether the 'substantial harm' part of the definition of addiction is fulfilled, but that might mean that a lot of people are in an undesirable limbo where they can't control their consumption anymore but don't experience sufficiently intense negative consequences to warrant abstention.
