At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we are dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their lives from addiction. Our evidence-based treatments, compassionate care, and holistic approach set us apart as a leader in addiction recovery.
What are Addictive Disorders?
Addictive disorders are chronic conditions characterized by compulsive engagement in a substance or behavior, despite harmful consequences. These disorders alter brain chemistry, leading to dependency, withdrawal symptoms, and difficulty in controlling urges. Addiction is recognized as a disease rather than a choice, requiring professional intervention for recovery.
Common Symptoms of Addictive Disorders
Symptoms of addiction vary depending on the substance or behavior involved, but common signs include:
- Loss of Control: Inability to stop or limit substance use or behavior.
- Cravings: Intense urges to engage in the addictive activity.
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Ignoring work, school, or family obligations.
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing physical and emotional distress when attempting to quit.
- Tolerance Build-up: More substance or behavior is needed to achieve the same effect.
- Continued Use Despite Negative Consequences: Persisting in the addiction despite financial, legal, or health issues.
Causes and Risk Factors of Addictive Disorders
Addiction does not develop overnight. Several factors contribute to the onset of addictive disorders, including:
1. Genetic Predisposition:
Research suggests that individuals with a family history of addiction are more likely to develop the condition.
2. Environmental Influences
Exposure to substance use in early life, peer pressure, and high-stress environments increase addiction risks.
3. Mental Health Disorders
Conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD often co-exist with addiction, leading to self-medication through substance use or compulsive behaviors.
4. Neurological Factors
Addiction rewires the brain’s reward system, making it difficult to resist cravings and impulses.
The Cycle of Addiction
The cycle of addiction follows a repetitive pattern:
- Initial Use: Experimentation with a substance or behavior.
- Increased Use: Regular consumption leading to dependency.
- Tolerance Development: Higher doses are needed to feel the same effects.
- Dependence: The brain adapts, making quitting difficult.
- Withdrawal & Relapse: Discomfort when stopping, often leading to relapse.
Diagnosis of Addictive Disorders
Diagnosing addiction involves a comprehensive assessment by healthcare professionals. Common diagnostic methods include:
- Clinical Interviews: Evaluating behavioral patterns and substance use history.
- DSM-5 Criteria: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders outlines specific criteria for addiction.
- Medical Tests: Checking for physical health effects caused by addiction.
