The length of addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their addiction, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
Addiction can take a variety of forms. On the surface, addiction can be substance abuse (opioids, prescription drugs, alcohol, marijuana, and more) and also look like a compulsive behavior (sex, the Internet, video games, shopping, and more). In both cases, just below the surface, the addiction works the same. Addiction is an illness that changes people’s minds.

Addiction rewrites how an individual’s brain functions so that people experience pleasure hormones (endorphins and dopamine) when they engage in the activity or substance. The rewiring of the brain means that people’s thoughts, choices, and behaviors are affected as well. Here are some of the more tangible signs that addiction is changing a person’s brain. Do you recognize anything?
Physical Signs of Addiction
Behavioral Signs of Addiction
Emotional Signs of Addiction
It is easy to see from these red-flags: addiction can cause severe harm to both the addict and their loved ones. Because of an addiction, people may take risks they would not otherwise take. They may put their own well-being on the line so that the addiction can survive—in many ways, addiction is like a parasite. Therapists may talk about how addiction has three C’s: cravings, consequences, and control. Addiction demands control of an individual’s life and drives their decisions, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Addiction will persist despite the negative consequences they bring into an individual’s life. Addiction uses cravings as a way to take this control.
