What is addiction?

Addictions usually start out as enjoyable habits – like a smoke or a drink with friends, a flutter at the races, or taking drugs to relax. But if you’re no longer in control of your habit, or it becomes harmful, that’s an addiction. You may find you need more of something to get the same effect, whether that’s gambling, alcohol, drugs or nicotine. Some people are especially prone to addiction, too.

Addiction can have a lasting negative effect on your mental health. For example, the abuse of some drugs can lead to developing schizophrenia, paranoia or psychosis.

What is alcoholism?

Alcoholism, or alcohol dependence, is when you need to have a drink to keep going. You can’t control how much or how often you drink, and you may not realise at first that it’s becoming a problem − or you may be in denial. Unfortunately, alcohol addiction can cause a range of mental health problems. This article looks at some symptoms of alcohol addiction and its treatments.

It’s important to get treatment for addiction, and admitting and exploring its effect on your life can be a good place to start. There are many different types of talking therapy, so even if counselling isn’t for you then there are other options you could try.

There are psychological and pharmacological interventions for all addictions, whilst a pharmacological approach is usually considered in the early stages of treatment, psychological approaches such as CBT may be appropriate.

CBT teaches you to recognise unhelpful patterns in the way you think and behave. It also shows you how to challenge and change those patterns.
