Award Winning Counselling and Psychotherapy For Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Anger Management
Addiction
There is a delicate distinction between social drinking, using drugs for recreational purposes, prescription drug misuse, and engaging in illicit drug use. Substance abuse takes on various forms and can have serious consequences. However, disregarding these issues can lead to compulsive behaviour. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance misuse, seeking professional counselling can make a significant difference in overcoming these challenges.
Substance Misuse:
Social drinking, drug use for pleasure, prescription drug abuse, and illicit drug use all have a thin line between them. Substance abuse manifests itself in a variety of ways. On the other hand, ignoring them can become compulsive.
Signs of Substance Misuse:
- Regularly using alcohol or drugs.
- Using alcohol or drugs to relieve emotional pain, deal with stress or improve mood.
- Coping with anxiety, stress, grief and relationship issues through the use of alcohol & drugs.
- Drinking or using more than planned out of habit.
You might experience remorse for using drugs or alcohol. Some people discover that they are lying about how much they use to both themselves and others. After an evening of drinking or using drugs, some people may experience blackouts or memory loss.
Misuse is not only related to drugs and alcohol. Gambling, sex, and pornography addictions are examples of further addictions that might arise.
Seeing a counsellor can assist you in overcoming and avoiding these behaviours.
Addiction:
Your friends and family may also be affected by addiction in addition to you. It may significantly affect both your social life and your work/school life. Addiction-related behaviour can cause people to ignore their relationships and obligations. You can considerably aid yourself in quitting or overcoming your addiction by seeing a therapist.
It's possible that you spent some time in a treatment facility and are having trouble adjusting to life at home. You can be a part of a rehabilitation programme and feel awkward discussing private topics in front of others. You can get a lot of aid from a therapist in overcoming addiction and coping with these emotions.
Speaking with a close friend or member of your family about your worries can also be very helpful for your recovery.
