With regard to moral responsibility of addicts, the authors think that:

    { 1 } - The whole guilt felt by addicts is illusory.
    { 2 } - The consumption of addictive substances by addicts is always in itself a morally culpable act.
    { 3 } - The real moral responsibility of the addict lies in the obligation to ask for and receive help from others
    { 4 } - The addict acts voluntarily, compulsively, and therefore with free choice.

Admission of responsibility is thus an important part of therapy. See p. 386.

3 is correct!

With regard to moral responsibility of addicts, the authors think that:

    { 1 } - The whole guilt felt by addicts is illusory.
    { 2 } - The consumption of addictive substances by addicts is always in itself a morally culpable act.
    { 3 } - The real moral responsibility of the addict lies in the obligation to ask for and receive help from others
    { 4 } - The addict acts voluntarily, compulsively, and therefore with free choice.

when it is offered, since therapy cannot be effective until the addict accepts help.

They do not think that the addict acts with free choice, and make a distinction between acting voluntarily and with free choice. For them a compulsive act is voluntary but not free. See pp. 385-6.
