Addiction

What is classified as an addiction? An addiction is when a person has a compulsion or extreme need to use a habitual substance such as heroin, nicotine, alcohol and many other forms of harmful substances. Many addictions, when halted, exhibit physiological and psychological symptoms of withdrawal.

Addictions are dangerous, as they lead to reduced quality of life, emotional family trauma, marital breakups, job loss, violence and even financial demise. Depending on the addiction, it is vital to seek counseling or a physician's advice on how to reduce the desire and ultimately to stop whatever the addiction may be.

In some cases, it is necessary for substance abusers to be admitted into some form of group therapy, and if the addiction is unbreakable, it is sometimes best to contain the addict within a substance abuse clinic for more in-depth treatment and counseling. If you or someone you know is suffering from an addiction, our site offers several, professional counselors who may be able to assist you in freedom from addiction and a path to wellness & happiness.
