Understanding Addiction
Addiction is a vast and complex disease that is further complicated when combined with mental health conditions. Using drugs and alcohol causes your brain to release a powerful and overwhelming rush of intense, pleasurable neurotransmitters responsible for the positive effects during intoxication. Without realizing it, you start to associate that substance with pleasure. This forces the brain’s pleasure and reward centers to change. When this association takes place, people are driven to seek out thoughts, images, people, and places that are associated with a particular substance.
Addiction impairs judgment and exacerbates existing mental health conditions, making it easier to spend recklessly on drugs and alcohol, take unnecessary risks, and neglect the people you hold dear. Failing to seek treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues can result in the following consequences:
- Damaging or destroying every healthy relationship in your life
- Acute and long-term medical and mental health problems
- Aggravate existing mental health conditions
- Lead to financial destitution
- Cause employment problems
- Cause organ damage
- Lead to arrests and homelessness
