Fayetteville, NC Addiction Therapy and Counseling

Addiction can manifest as substance abuse (prescription drugs, marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, and more). Addiction can manifest as a compulsive action (sex, internet, shopping, gambling, video games, and more).

Regardless of when, where, and how addiction shows itself, the root issue is the same. Addiction alters how an individual’s brain functions. Treatment for an addiction focuses on rewiring the brain so that it functions normally. This is may require community support, lifestyle changes, medication, and therapy, but many people are ready for recovery. They are ready to seek treatment.

The staff at Thriveworks Counseling in Fayetteville offers therapy for addiction. We understand what it takes to treat this illness, and we have helped many people find the support they need.

Signs and Symptoms of Addiction

As you read through these signs, think about your own life:

  • Failed Attempts to Quit: Many people who have an addiction want to stop the substance abuse or the activity. They have even tried—sometimes multiple times—to curb or quit their use. These attempts, however, usually end without any progress being made. In fact, they may add to an individual’s shame.
  • Escalation: Over time, the addiction needs more of the activity and more of the substance for the same effect. Addiction escalates. In daily life, this looks like more alcohol or more smoking or a longer time with the video game console. It can be tempting to minimize an addiction, but minimization often delays treatment and allows escalation to occur. Early treatment is often paramount for healing and recovering from an addiction.
  • Moodiness: Irritability, annoyance, and anger are often go-to emotions for an addict. The moodiness may surface with a direct connection to the addiction—like when an individual cannot get a fix. However, these emotions can also be less direct. Those who are experiencing addiction often have poor coping skills, and this moodiness may signal a need to equip an addict with greater emotional skills.
  • Captivated Thoughts: When addiction develops within an individual’s life, it becomes the center of their world. The addiction demands their thoughts and energy, even when they are not using. Those experiencing addiction frequently report that they dream about or lust after the addiction.
  • Deceit: Lying and addiction go hand-in-hand. When an addiction takes hold, deceit will also be present. The lies often hide and protect the addiction at the expense of an individual—lying to hide the addiction, to procure a substance, to minimize the disease, to avoid consequences are just a few examples of the way addiction functions with the help of deceit.

People lose control—the addiction becomes the controlling force in their lives. The addiction brings a host of undesirable consequences to people’s lives.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
