What Is an Addiction?

An addiction to drugs and alcohol is a complicated condition. It involves a compulsive behavioral pattern revolving around substance abuse as well as major changes to the chemical and structural balance of the brain. As such, an addiction is both mental/emotional and physical in nature. The general public does not often recognize the physical factors related to an addiction and because of this, there are many misperceptions about addiction in the world.  

Some people have it in their heads that an addiction is a choice that people make. They believe that the person chooses to rely upon drugs or alcohol and that they can just as easily choose not to rely on drugs or alcohol. This means that they boil addiction down to a matter of willpower or strength of character.

However, anyone that has dealt with addiction knows otherwise. Addiction is not within a person's control. In fact, the opposite is true. The person is under the control of their addiction. Their addiction guides their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even the way their body functions physically.

The physical side of an addiction to drugs or alcohol develops in the brain. The brain becomes chemically imbalanced when a person has an addiction. Rather than being a self-sufficient system, the brain becomes dependent on an outside substance, the drug or alcohol that the person is addicted to. When this chemical dependence occurs, it can be very difficult to break free from an addiction as the brain and body will react negatively to being denied the substance the person is addicted to.

What Are the Consequences of Addiction?

Drug and alcohol addictions can have numerous consequences on a person's life. They can lose relationships, jobs, professional licenses, money, and freedom (due to commitment or incarceration). A person with a drug or alcohol addiction can also lose their physical and mental health. Psychosis, strokes, delusions and hallucinations, heart disease, organ failure, and the like are all common consequences of a drug alcohol addiction. And, of course, death via overdose or from the cumulative effects of drug or alcohol abuse and addiction is the worst consequence of addiction.

Is Recovery from an Addiction Possible?

There is hope and recovery is possible. You can overcome your addiction to drugs or alcohol. All you need to keep in mind is that you cannot overcome an addiction without the help of an addiction treatment center.
