Understanding Addiction
Addiction is a chronic condition involving compulsive substance use or behaviors despite negative consequences. It may involve:
Substance Use Disorders
- Alcohol use disorder
- Opioid addiction
- Prescription drug misuse
- Marijuana dependence
- Stimulant use
Behavioral Addictions
- Gambling
- Internet or gaming addiction
- Shopping addiction
- Compulsive behaviors
Addiction often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood disorders. Treating both conditions together (dual diagnosis treatment) improves long-term outcomes.
