Understanding Addiction

Addiction can manifest in two primary ways: substance dependence (such as addiction to heroin) and behavioral addiction (such as addiction to gambling). While the perceived harm may differ, both types of addiction can severely impact an individual’s life, including relationships with family and friends and performance at school or work. Addiction counseling can help prevent the ongoing damage that addiction can cause.

Signs and Symptoms of Addiction

Addiction can show up in various ways. Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Uncontrollable desire to use a substance or engage in an activity despite knowing its harmful effects
  • Feelings of shame, hopelessness, and guilt
  • Obsession with the object of addiction, organizing life around gaining access to the substance or behavior
  • Engaging in risky behavior, leading to legal or financial issues

Who Is at Risk of Developing Addiction?

Addiction can affect anyone, but certain risk factors can increase the likelihood, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Gender
  • Pre-existing mental health conditions
  • Family history of addiction
  • Environmental factors

Christy made me feel comfortable right away. I had been working with another local therapist who I loved, but who is moving and I was nervous about switching. But Christy has been fantastic already just in our first two visits. Would definitely recommend Christy and Thriveworks

I was matched with Ms Geneen Brown a little over 2 years ago & it's been the best match ever. She's helped me so much. I was one of those people who thought asking for help from a therapist was silly. I can say nothing but amazing things about Thriveworks & Geneen.
