What is addiction?

Addiction isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a chronic condition that drives compulsive substance use despite the harmful consequences. Whether the substance is drugs, alcohol, or something else, addiction can quickly dominate your life, making it hard to focus on anything else. This disease doesn’t just impact the individual; it also affects family, friends, and the community.

Often, addiction begins in a seemingly harmless way—a drink at a social gathering or a prescription for pain relief. However, as the substance starts to alter the brain, the urge to use these substances becomes harder to resist. This can lead to a downward spiral that impacts every part of life, from physical and mental health to relationships and careers.

Substance use, including drugs and alcohol, is significant in Chicago

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction can involve a variety of substances, including:

Prescription Medications: Drugs like opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants are often prescribed for legitimate medical purposes but can lead to dependency and addiction when misused
Illicit Drugs: Substances such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy can quickly result in addiction, often necessitating professional treatment
Over-the-Counter Medications: Even common over-the-counter medications, such as certain cough syrups or diet pills, can be addictive if used improperly

Drug addiction impacts both the mind and body, leading to serious health issues, including the risk of overdose, mental health disorders, and physical complications. Breaking free from this cycle requires the right support and treatment.

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism, is another widespread and destructive form of addiction. Because alcohol is legal and easily accessible, recognizing the signs of dependency can be challenging. Excessive drinking can cause liver disease, mental health problems, and strained relationships.

Alcohol addiction typically develops over time, starting with occasional drinking and escalating to binge drinking or daily consumption. Seeking help is critical if you or someone you care about is struggling with alcohol dependency.
