Having an addiction can be hard to admit, and even harder to understand. At Hickory House Recovery, our award-winning substance abuse treatment center located in Greenfield, Indiana, helps put your addiction into focus and give you the best tools possible for your journey to recovery.
Addictions come in different forms, so the best path to recovery is understanding what addiction is in order to develop a plan best suited for you.
Through extensive studies, it has been determined that addiction is a disease. It has been defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder focused on the use of alcohol or drugs, tobacco, caffeine, etc., no matter the consequences. Addiction, or substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex condition in which there is uncontrolled use of a substance despite harmful consequences. People with SUD have an intense focus on these substances to the point their ability to function in day-to-day life becomes impaired. They will continue using the substance even when they know it will, or is, causing serious problems.
Unlike years past, addiction is now treated as a brain disorder. Someone with substance use disorder generally knows the addiction is potentially destructive, however, the brain becomes rewired and ending the addiction cycle requires professional help. The licensed addiction professionals at Hickory House Recovery addiction treatment center provide the addiction counseling you need for recovery.
Over the years there have been many studies on how people become addicted to drugs and alcohol. Most studies point to a combination of heredity and environmental factors playing a large part. Addiction, like other diseases, can be passed on by genetics. About one-half of susceptibility to substance abuse disorder (SUD) can be hereditary. Of course, that doesn’t automatically mean you will become addicted to drugs or alcohol. Addiction, just like all other diseases, differs from person to person. Aside from genetics there are also environmental factors. Some risk factors include peer pressure, lack of parental supervision, availability of drugs or alcohol or mental illness (co-occurring disorders).
