Addictions

An addiction is a complex illness with physical and psychological symptoms, affecting not only the individual, but also those around them.
An estimated two million people in the UK have an addiction to some form of substance or activity.

What is an addition?
‘Dependence’ means feeling that you need a substance in order to carry on doing what you want to do, even if problems result from its use. If you are dependent on a substance then you might be said to be addicted to it.
People may be dependent in many different ways and to a variety of degrees of intensity. There are many types of activities, substances and situations that people become addicted to, including drugs and alcohol, sex, pornography, shopping, and eating.
If you feel that a dependency or addiction is causing you problems in your day to day life or your relationships, then contact The Hope Street Centre.
