Recovery is possible, and asking for help is the first brave step. With compassionate, judgment-free treatment, dependence can be managed and life rebuilt.
What is addiction?
Addiction, or substance dependence, is when the use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs becomes difficult to control despite the harm it causes. It affects the brain and body, and it deserves medical care and compassion — not blame. With the right, confidential support, people recover and reclaim their lives every day.
Common signs
- Needing more of a substance to get the same effect
- Struggling to cut down or stop despite trying
- Cravings, or withdrawal symptoms when you don't use
- Neglecting work, family or health because of use
- Continuing despite clear harm to life or relationships
