What Is Addiction?

Addiction is understood as a person’s inability to control his or her relationship to a particular substance or behavior—eventually, this lack of control becomes potentially harmful. It is generally accepted that there are two different classes of addiction:

  1. Physical addictions, including alcoholism or drug addiction
  2. Psychological addictions, such as gambling or sex dependencies

Physical addictions are defined by a physiological dependency on a substance—when the substance is removed the person will develop withdrawal symptoms that can be potentially dangerous. This is not the case in psychological addictions; these are linked to compulsive behaviors and a perceived need to pursue the subject of one’s addiction without a physical dependency. Addiction counseling is designed to help patients cope with all aspects of their addiction.

Treatment for Addiction: Addiction and Substance Abuse Counseling

Addiction is a complex disorder with a variety of different factors that contribute to its development. For example, a mixture of genetics, family history, and environmental factors. Part of the process involved in counseling for addiction is investigating and identifying these causes so they can be addressed in treatment.

For many addicts, a period of detoxification is necessary before psychological rehabilitation can begin. This rehabilitation generally takes the form of one of the many addiction counseling methods that exist. Overall, the rehabilitation is designed to provide the addict with the tools that allow him or her to resist the wide array of addiction triggers that he or she might be exposed to in everyday life. This is why addiction counseling is so important, as it helps to prevent relapse into old habits and patterns of abuse.
