What Is an Addiction?

An addiction to drugs and alcohol is a disease. While this may seem counter to what you have previously heard about addiction, it is the truth. The disease of addiction is both mental and physical in nature and requires treatment to be overcome. However, many people do not realize or believe just how serious an addiction to drugs or alcohol can be, even those people that suffer from a drug or alcohol addiction themselves. Alcohol and drug rehab in Boone can help you recover from your addiction.

The nature of an addiction to drugs or alcohol is denial. The person with the addiction does not believe that they have a problem and the people around them often live in denial as well, hoping and thinking that the issues they are noticing are just transient and that they will pass. Unfortunately, this is not the reality of addiction.

When a person has a drug or alcohol addiction, they are both mentally and physically dependent on the substance that they are addicted to. The primary characteristic of a drug or alcohol addiction is a lack of control in regards to substance use and abuse. This means that while a person without an addiction can have one or two drinks and stop, a person with an addiction will continue drinking well past the limits of intoxication.

This lack of control stems from a combination of factors. Firstly, the person is mentally addicted to the effects of the substance. These effects often include euphoria which is a sense of extreme pleasure and contentment. The person will crave these feelings and will turn to the addicted substance to attain those feelings quickly and easily.

A person also becomes physically addicted to drugs or alcohol. The physical addiction comes from a shift in the person's brain chemistry that occurs when a person develops an addiction to drugs or alcohol. The brain's normal chemical balance is no longer balanced and it needs the chemical effects of the addicted substance in order to function normally.

These mental and physical addictions can cause innumerable problems for the person with an addiction. They may eventually lose relationships with friends and family. They might also lose their job of professional licenses. But these are not even the worst potential consequences of drug or alcohol addiction. Some of those include incarceration, institutionalization, organ failure, overdose, and even death.

In fact, if an addiction to drugs or alcohol is not addressed sooner rather than later, death is an inevitable consequence of the disease. Whether that death comes as a result of behaviors engaged in while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the damage that occurs to the body over time with substance abuse, or from an overdose, death is a very real consequence of drug and alcohol addiction.

The good news is that there is hope to recover from an addiction before it is too late. With interventions and treatment, it is possible to avoid the end result of death via addiction. And Boone Addiction Treatment Centers can help partner you up with a center for addiction treatment in Boone that will help you overcome your addiction to drugs or alcohol.
