What Is Addiction? Is Recovery from an Addiction Possible?

An addiction to drugs or alcohol is a serious condition that can affect absolutely every part of a person's life from their mind to their body and even their spirit. When a person is addicted to drugs and alcohol, they have a disease. This disease has many symptoms and many effects on a person's life and being.

One of the major aspects of an addiction is a change in the person's internal brain chemistry. Whenever a person uses or abuses drugs or alcohol, that substance sends chemical signals to the brain. Those signals instruct the brain on what to do and how to act.

When a person begins to develop an addiction to drugs or alcohol though, the brain begins to anticipate those signals from the addictive substance and will slowly begin to shift its internal chemistry as well.

When the brain does this, it becomes chemically dependent upon the substance so that it cannot function normally without it. This change in the internal chemical balance of the brain can cause a number of outward symptoms and behaviors.

Many people do not understand that there is this biological component to drug or alcohol addiction and often blame addictive behaviors on willpower or on the person's character. However, this is far from the case.

For example, one of the primary characteristics of an addiction is an inability to control one's behaviors when it comes to substance use and abuse. This means that a person with an alcohol addiction cannot just have one drink with dinner but will have to drink to excess every time they consume alcohol.

The reason that the person will not be able to control their behaviors in regards to the addicted substance is that they have a chemical as well as an emotional and mental addiction to the substance. The chemical dependence is the aforementioned brain chemistry issue and the mental and emotional dependence stems from the way the addictive substance makes them feel when they consume and use it.

In spite of the fact that an addiction to drugs or alcohol is so all-encompassing, the reality is that recovery from a drug or alcohol addiction is possible. However, you cannot overcome addiction without alcohol or drug rehab in Greenport, or at any other high-quality addiction rehab facility that offers effective and innovative addiction treatment. You need help and Greenport Drug Treatment Centers can help you to find that help.
