Definition of Addiction- it is a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness. Addiction is the most severe form of a full spectrum of substance use disorders and is a medical illness caused by repeated misuse of a substance or substances (National Institute of Drug Use- NIDA).
Signs of addiction-The American Society of Addiction Medicine uses the ABCDC of Addiction to explain signs of addictions: Abstinence issues-they cannot abstain on a regular basis; Behavior control impairment- they cannot stop behaving in a specific way; Craving to take in, or do, the subject of their addiction; Diminished ability to see how the addiction impacts others; and Emotional responses that are dysfunctional.
Addiction process- Recovery villages define the addiction process as a characteristic strong impulse to partake in a specific behavior. The addicted individual engages in behaviors even when it results in harmful consequences for their emotional, interpersonal, or physical well-being. The process of addiction is not limited to drugs or alcohol, but also behaviors that provide a natural reward or emotional high, yet distressing across all of a person’s life. Despite the negative consequences, a person will continue to partake in the behavior and may feel shame and remorse after doing so. The individual is unable to refrain from taking part in the behavior and require treatment and intervention to stop.
Addiction Treatment- Addiction is a treatable, chronic disorder that can be managed successfully using a combination of medications and behavioral interventions to treat a substance use disorder.
