Understanding Behavioural and Process Addictions
In a world increasingly dominated by instant gratification and digital connections, behavioural and process addictions have become more prevalent. These addictions, unlike drug addiction or alcohol addiction, involve compulsive engagement in non-substance-related activities that can disrupt daily life. Typically, people who find themselves struggling with behavioural addictions are those seeking escape, thrill, or coping mechanisms for underlying issues.
Failing to address these addictions early on can lead to significant repercussions. Behavioural addictions can lead to deteriorating mental health, strained relationships, financial troubles, and a profound impact on one’s overall quality of life. Commonly, someone dealing with these issues may not recognise their behaviours as problematic until these consequences arise. However, it’s important to understand that these addictions are just as serious as substance misuse and require professional treatment.
At Smarmore Castle, we’re committed to providing targeted, empathetic care to help navigate the challenges they present.
