Addiction

Addiction refers to a compulsive dependency, whether that be on certain substances such as alcohol and drugs, or with behaviours that continue, despite serious negative consequences. Addiction can affect anyone, regardless of their background, and often co-occurs with other conditions such as depression or anxiety. It can have a profound impact on an individual's life.

Effective psychological treatment for addiction involves a collaborative process of creating positive change, with the understanding that it takes time and effort. Our skilled psychologists can help individuals with addiction by not only addressing the immediate need for reducing dependence but also by working towards long-term recovery. This includes addressing underlying issues that may have contributed to the development of the addiction.

By providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment, our psychologists can assist individuals in understanding their addiction, identifying their triggers, and developing practical strategies to manage their cravings and avoid relapse. Ultimately, the goal of our treatment is to help individuals achieve sustainable and lasting recovery while improving their overall mental health and well-being.
