Addiction Counseling and Support
With behavior and substance addiction, stopping the substance or behavior is difficult. The act of seeking, consuming, or acting out becomes compulsive. Brain functioning becomes affected by prolonged exposure to the substance or behavior.
Addiction is a complex disease that affects multiple brain circuits, including reward and motivation, learning and memory, and inhibitory control over behavior.
Addiction can affect:
- Finances
- Relationships with Family and Friends
- Career and Job Success
- Schooling
- Health
Effective addiction counseling incorporates many components:
Addiction not only affects the person experiencing it, but the family and friends around them.
If you are caring for someone who is battling addiction, it’s important to look inward. Check in one yourself to make sure your own mental health isn’t being overlooked.
It’s okay, even necessary, for those close to those struggling with behavior or substance addiction to seek counseling for themselves. When you care so deeply for someone suffering from addiction, it is hard to pay attention to your own needs and how it impacts you and your spirit.
