What are the causes of drug or alcohol addiction?

Drug and alcohol abuse are more common in the UK than you may think. Once addiction sets in, it becomes a vicious circle which is exceedingly difficult to get out of, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get of it.

Each person will have their own personal reasons for how they became addicted to alcohol or drugs, whether it’s been influenced by peer pressure, environmental influences, stress, or started as a coping mechanism to deal with trauma.

From our years of experience, we understand the strong connection between drug and alcohol abuse, and mental health issues.

When a person is suffering from both an addiction and problems with their mental health, this is referred to as a dual diagnosis.

It’s possible that you could have developed an addiction to alcohol or drugs as a way to cope with your mental health struggles, or on the other hand, your mental health issues could be a result of excessive alcohol or drug consumption.
