The Disease of Addiction
The National Institute on Drug Abuse acknowledges addiction as a chronic brain disease. A substance or behaviour becomes an addiction when you become dependant to the point of uncontrollable use, even when the substance or behaviour is causing negative effects to your life.
Treatments at Rehab
Substance and behavioural addictions can be effectively treated through a rehabilitation centre.
For substance misuse, you will also have access to detoxification processes through rehabilitation. Detoxification is the process of withdrawing and removing harmful substances from your body.
It is recommended to do this with medical supervision as certain substances can be difficult physically and psychologically. But with a medically supervised detox, you will have access to medicines that will alleviate any negative effects of detoxification.
