However, when it comes down to it, addiction is a disease like any other, and there is no shame in admitting that you have fallen victim to it.

Substance abuse disorders and alcohol abuse disorders are incredibly complex conditions that can wreak havoc on your brain chemistry, and cause you to present with a whole host of physical and psychological side-effects — some of which can negatively affect you for the long term if not treated professionally.

With this in mind, you should be aware that it is vitally important that you treat your addiction as soon as possible with the help of a private residential drug and alcohol rehab in Kirkby.

Over time, even if you think that you have your addiction under control, your substance abuse and/or alcoholism will grow more severe, with the effects of addiction seeping their way into ever more areas of your life.

Drug And Alcohol Abuse Can Wreak A Multitude Of Effects On A Person

Alcoholism and substance misuse, if left untreated, can take a potentially disastrous toll on an individual’s life. Some of the severe physical conditions that drug and alcohol addiction can result in include the likes of heart complications, blood pressure issues, liver failure, as well as multiple different cancers having been linked to the overconsumption of alcohol and/or narcotics.

Furthermore, it is not only your physical body that will wreak the repercussions of your addiction, but your mental health can take a nosedive as well. You may find that you start experiencing bouts of depression, lethargy, anxiety, insomnia, or much more as a result of your addiction.

These psychological conditions combined with the physical conditions can not only lead your body and mind into ruin, but you can also lose your job, face economic instability, and end up homeless as a result.

However, as so many addicts forget, addiction not only affects the individual. As addiction progresses, an addict may often alienate themselves from their loved ones, and even turn to steal from or lash out violently against those who they previously loved — be them family members, children, or close friends.

To say that drug and alcohol addiction is a slippery slope is something of an understatement; although, it is not too late to turn your life around.

No matter how far your worry that your addiction may have progressed, Addiction Advocates will be able to help you out of this period of your life and quickly get you on the way to long-term recovery from your addiction.

We are committed to making sure that we can provide help to anyone who reaches out to us.
