‘No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes and professions.’
(Patrick J. Kennedy).
The roots of addiction are complex and varied. Since the cause is usually both physical and psychological, it’s crucial to explore the root causes driving addiction. The causes also depend on the individual, which is why one-to-one therapy is so effective.
The reason drug addiction is so hard to overcome is because habits become ingrained in the neural pathways of our brain. A counsellor will therefore usually take a holistic approach when supporting someone through rehabilitation.
Therapy has been proven to be highly effective for people suffering from all kinds of addiction. When seeking help for any kind of problem, whether it’s addiction or depression and anxiety, it’s crucial to find the right therapist.
