Contact Us Call Now (321) 415-3213Addiction is defined as a complex and still poorly recognized social problem that influences the lives of millions of people and their nearest and dearest across the globe. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 2019 indicated that about 20 million people aged 12 years and above struggled with substance use disorders. Nevertheless, various myths about addiction remain a part of the discussion, which is why it is important to know what addiction is, what causes it, what signs indicate the development of addiction, and what addiction treatment methods are available.
Addiction is a chronic illness that involves the compulsive use of drugs, even when it has negative impacts and alterations of the brain. Addiction is categorized as a brain disorder as well as a psychiatric or mental disorder. Addiction means dependency on a substance like drugs or alcohol and can also refer to dependency on behavior like gambling, internet, and shopping addictions.
It has been postulated that physical addiction involves the reliance of the body on a substance whereby the withdrawal symptoms arise if the substance is not accessed. The second type of addiction is psychological addiction and here it entails having an emotional and mental obsession with the substance or behavior which results in having cravings and ending up being compelled to use the substance.
Addiction is not caused by one factor but by several factors which may include genetic, environmental, psychological, and developmental factors.
Genetics influence addiction; however, they do not account for a person’s addiction completely. Available research shows that genes bring about 40%-60% of an addict’s susceptibility. There is conclusive evidence also pointing to there being a hereditary aspect to overindulgence; people with a family history of overindulgence are likely to overindulge too.
impulsivity and sensation-seeking
Learning about the possible signs of addiction is important in the evaluation of treatment. This can be either in the form of physical symptoms, psychological symptoms, social symptoms as well as behavioral symptoms.
The complexity of addiction begins with a lack of understanding of this mammoth problem. Accepting that addiction is a disease, which among other things, has roots in genetic, environmental, and developing aspects, as well as in psychological and developmental components allows adopting the most humane and efficacious attitudes toward it. Thus, the timely detection and proper treatment of addictive disorders seem to be the key components to recovery.
