Alcohol/Drug Addiction
Have you hidden drug or alcohol consumption from a loved one? When you go out, do you find you partake in more than you want to, or planned on? Do you experience feelings of guilt or shame after a night out? Have you had a desire to consume less but find it challenging?
Addiction is a disease that affects millions of people nationwide. It is characterized as a psychological disorder where the brain works under a reward system regardless of negative outcome. The substance takes over the reward pathways making people feel an increased desire and need for bigger and more dopamine hits. Many factors come to play in developing addiction such as genetics, underlying mental health disorders, pressures, and much more.
You may ask yourself, “is recovery possible?”
IT IS!
Psychology Today shares that the most recent U.S. National Survey on drug use and health states that more than 75% of people addicted to drugs or alcohol do recover.
