Understanding Addiction

Addiction is a condition where someone feels unable to control their use of a substance or behaviour, even when they know it’s causing harm. It often starts as a way to cope with stress, pain, or emotions, but over time, the need for the substance or activity takes over, making it hard to stop. It affects both the body and mind—changing how the brain works and making it difficult for people to make healthy choices, even if they want to quit.

Many people dealing with addiction struggle with feelings of guilt or isolation because their behaviour can impact relationships, work, and health. But addiction is not a lack of willpower; it’s a complex issue that requires compassion and support. With the right help—like counselling, medical treatment, and support from loved ones—it’s possible to overcome addiction and rebuild a fulfilling, healthy life.

Types of Addiction we help with

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder, is characterised by an inability to control drinking despite negative consequences. It can lead to physical dependence, where the body needs alcohol to function, and can cause serious health issues, such as liver damage, heart disease, and mental health problems.

We provide a holistic alcohol treatment programme that includes medically supervised detoxification to ensure a safe withdrawal process, as well as individual and group therapy to address underlying emotional issues. Our approach also emphasises building healthy coping mechanisms and rebuilding relationships, supporting individuals to lead a life free from alcohol dependency.

Drug addiction

Drug addiction refers to the compulsive use of substances such as opiates, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other illicit or prescription drugs. It affects brain function, leading to an overwhelming need to use despite knowing the harmful impacts on health, relationships, and other areas of life.

 

We offer drug rehab programmes tailored to different types of substances, providing safe, medically monitored detox to manage withdrawal symptoms. Our treatment plans include counselling, behavioural therapy, and holistic approaches like mindfulness and yoga to help clients understand the root causes of their addiction and develop effective strategies for long-term sobriety.

Gambling addiction

Gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is an impulse control disorder characterised by an uncontrollable urge to gamble despite its negative effects on financial stability, relationships, and well-being. Unlike substance addiction, gambling does not involve a physical substance, but it can be equally destructive.

 

Our gambling addiction treatment focuses on identifying the triggers that lead to compulsive behaviour and developing healthier coping strategies. We provide individual therapy to understand the underlying emotional or psychological issues contributing to the addiction, as well as group support sessions where individuals can share their experiences and gain encouragement from others in similar situations.
