What is Addiction?

For a lot of people, alcohol or drug use starts out seemingly harmless enough. You participate in social settings and then consume substances to try to dull physical or emotional pain. Before you’re aware of it, though, alcohol or drugs are controlling you. Your brain chemistry is severely impacted, signaling an intense physical need for more. Now, this recreational use has become an addiction, affecting all areas of your life.

Alcohol Addiction

Addiction alcohol may start innocently enough with a beer or two while watching a game, drinks with friends, wine with dinner, or champagne at a wedding. However, it can develop into dependence; people find they need a drink to function. Alcohol abuse can lead to strained work and personal relationships, cause physical issues, and a shift in priorities.

Drug Addiction

From marijuana and cocaine to fentanyl, heroin, meth, and prescription pain pills like oxycontin, drug abuse increases with use. Whether it is illegal substances used recreationally or prescription drugs acquired for legitimate medical reasons, the misuse of these mood-altering substances has severe negative consequences with a psychological and physical toll that can’t be underestimated or ignored.
