Addiction Services
Often addiction occurs in an attempt to self-medicate due to some other underlying distress. Childhood trauma, psychiatric imbalance, physical pain, toxic relationships, existential crisis, personality disorders, unresolved grief, internalized shame, and other factors can all contribute to underlying distress.
However, true recovery entails more than simply detoxing the person from the substances or the addictive behavior; it also entails identifying and treating the issues that led to the self-medication, as well as empowering the struggling individual and providing them with the necessary tools to live a more meaningful, healthy and full life.

Heroine & Opiate/Opioid Addiction
Opiates and opioids are highly addictive substances in all of their many forms. The two terms have slightly different meanings but both play on the same brain receptors and have the same effects on the central nervous system. Opiates are naturally derived from the opium plant, while opioids are man-made and are either partly or entirely synthetic. However, both have historically been prescribed to relieve pain and prolonged use can lead to abuse, addiction, and even physical dependence. Opioid addiction has affected the lives of millions of people as it was responsible for over 70% of fatal overdoses that occurred in 2019.

Marijuana Addiction
The idea that marijuana is a harmless and safe drug is a narrative that many would have you believe. However, the use of marijuana can lead to the development of marijuana use disorder which stems from problem use, and in which in sever cases can take on the form of addiction. According to recent studies, 30 percent of marijuana users may have some form of marijuana use disorder. In addition, marijuana users that begin their use under the age of 18 are four to seven times more likely than adults to develop a marijuana use disorder. Those who attempt to stop use often feel withdrawal symptoms shortly after doing so. These symptoms can include; irritability, difficulties with mood and sleep, craving, loss of appetite, restlessness, and several other forms of physical discomfort.
Amphetamine Addiction
Amphetamines are stimulants that make people alert and awake but can also cause a feeling of euphoria. They are most commonly prescribed to help people manage their ADHD, but they, like so many other drugs, can lead to addiction if they’re misused. People who use these medications frequently are more likely to develop an addiction. These medications have the ability to alter the brain’s structure, and such changes in the brain can have long-term consequences. There can also be deadly consequences from mixing amphetamines with other drugs, especially depressants such as alcohol or Xanax. Several common name brand amphetamines include Adderall, Ritalin, Dexedrine, ProCentra. However, most people with a prescription use a generic version.
