Addiction — whether to substances, alcohol, or behaviours — is a recognized medical condition, not a character flaw. It involves changes to brain chemistry that make it extremely difficult to stop without support. Effective treatment exists and recovery is possible.
Understanding Addiction
Addiction often co-occurs with other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Addressing these underlying issues is key to lasting recovery.
How Therapy Helps
Evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, CBT for addictions, and 12-step facilitation are used to support recovery. A therapist can help you understand your triggers, build coping strategies, and create a sustainable recovery plan.
