What is an addiction?

An addiction is a compulsive need for a substance or activity, even when it is harmful. People with addictions often feel that they cannot control their behaviour and may continue to use the substance or engage in the activity despite negative consequences. Addiction counselling can help people to overcome their dependence on drugs or alcohol and make positive changes in their lives.

What are the causes of addiction?

There is no single cause of addiction, and it is thought to be a combination of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. Some people may be more vulnerable to addiction than others, but anyone can develop an addiction if they repeatedly use a substance or participate in an activity to excess. Addiction counselling can help people to understand the underlying causes of their addiction and develop strategies to cope with urges and triggers.

What are the symptoms of addiction?

People with addiction may display a range of behavioral and physical symptoms, including:

  • Loss of control over drug use or alcohol consumption

  • Continuing to use substances or engage in activities despite negative consequences

  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities in order to use substances or participate in activities

  • Experiencing financial, legal, or relationship difficulties as a result of substance use or participation in activities

  • Withdrawal symptoms when trying to cut down or stop using substances or participating in activities

If you are concerned that you or someone you love may be struggling with addiction, it's important to seek professional help, and the addiction therapist at Counselling Associates can definitely assist you on your road to recovery!
