The common understanding of addiction is almost always derived from alcoholism and hard drug addictions such as heroin. Whilst these are some of the major addictions in our society, they are by no means the only forms. Addictions can be developed to a wide variety of substances and behaviors and addiction is a particularly complex area of mental health disorders. As a result of this complexity, professional help in the form of addiction counseling is often recommended. If you think you could benefit from addiction counseling, reach out to Thriveworks in Salem. We’re here to help.
The causes of addiction for every individual are not completely understood. As with many diseases, it is a mixture of genetics, family history and the environment that the person lives in that causes an addiction to develop. It is estimated that 50% of the risk of developing an addiction is driven by one’s genetics and family history; the other 50% is driven by the environment and the exposure to certain substances and behaviors.
Treating addiction is not simply a case of taking a pill or a vaccine. It often requires careful rehabilitation through talk-based addiction therapy over a long period of time. Whilst for some the physical dependency can often be cured, the drive to lapse back into addiction can be triggered by a wide array of stimuli that addicts will be exposed to in their daily life. This is why addiction counseling is important – to provide the addict with the necessary tools to fight against these triggers as they arise.
Here at Thriveworks Salem we recognize that no single approach is appropriate for every patient. The right treatment plan is always tailored to the individual’s needs. So why not reach out to us now to book your first addiction counseling session.
