Addiction is a complex condition that is characterised by compulsive behaviours and the inability to stop engaging in a certain activity or substance use despite the negative consequences.
It is both psychological and physical and can manifest as an urge to seek out a particular behaviour or substance due to overwhelming cravings or impulses. Understandably, addiction often carries with it considerable emotional, mental, and physical health repercussions that can have lasting effects on you, your loved ones, and your community.
Alcohol, drugs, and other addictive behaviours can become incredibly powerful forces in our lives that we may struggle to control. For this reason, it is essential to identify signs of addiction early on so that proper support and treatment can be provided for those who need it.

Supporting a loved one through addiction can be an emotionally draining experience, so it’s vital to stay informed and find sources of help. Communication is key; speak with the addict in a non-accusatory manner at appropriate times when they are sober and ask for their preferred way of being supported.

Addiction has been extensively researched and the results are clear – it is a mental disorder. Science identifies areas of the brain that become involved in its progress, such as reward centres, memory storage sites and neocortex sections.
Furthermore, long-term usage leads to permanent changes within those locations including decreases in dopamine receptors which heighten predisposition levels for addiction relapse. All evidence points towards addiction being classified as an illness/disease due to these biophysical facts about how our brains function under the influence of addictive substances or activities.
According to studies, drug use appears to be hereditary. However, it does not necessarily mean that you will also become addicted if one of your parents is or was. It is important to remember that environmental conditions can reduce the effect of increased susceptibility.
Addiction can be labelled as a ‘family disease’. Addiction does not only affect the addict but also their loved ones. That is why Connection Mental Healthcare believes it is crucial to interact with the client’s family and friends so that we can help them learn how to deal with the effects of addiction.
