Rediscover Who You Are
At some point in their lives, many people will have a family member, partner, or friend, who is suffering from drug or alcohol addiction.
The information and issues surrounding addictions and rehab treatment can seem overwhelming. It can be difficult to know how to manage a situation like this, and many people have already tried and failed to improve the situation by the time they start looking for professional advice.
Addiction can be to alcohol or to drugs such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis or opioids and people can also be addicted to behaviours such as gambling, gaming or sexual compulsivity. Neuroscience has shown that all types of addictions affect the reward circuit in a person’s brain, taking control of their day-to-day life. Although addiction is a chronic mental illness that needs intensive psychotherapy, it is possible to recover from it as we see here daily at Smarmore Castle.
