What is Addiction?

Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness.

Addiction is about much more than just the physical dependence on substances. It also encompasses the behaviors and consequences associated with substance abuse. Recognizing the signs of addiction is the first step toward a healthy future. Additionally, those who struggle with addiction often need some degree of professional intervention. The right program depends on specific needs but generally includes medical detox followed by a higher level of care.

Symptoms of Addiction

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), provides a set of criteria for diagnosing substance use disorders, which can be indicative of addiction. According to the DSM-5, the symptoms of substance use disorders (which can be applied broadly to addiction) include:

The individual consumes the substance in larger quantities or longer than originally planned.
There are ongoing, unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control substance use.
The individual spends a significant amount of time obtaining the substance, using it, and recovering from its effects.
The person experiences intense desires or urges.
Substance use negatively impacts performance and responsibilities at work, school, or in the household.
The individual continues to use substances despite experiencing social or interpersonal problems directly related to the effects of the substance.
Key social, work, or recreational activities are abandoned or significantly reduced due to substance use.
The substance is used in situations where it is physically dangerous to do so.
The individual continues to use the substance despite knowing it’s likely worsening a physical or psychological problem.
Tolerance, defined as either needing a markedly increased amount of the substance to achieve intoxication or the desired effect or a markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance.
Manifestation of withdrawal symptoms when the substance use is reduced or stopped, or using the substance (or a closely related substance) to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.

According to DSM-5, the presence of at least two of these symptoms within 12 months may indicate a substance use disorder. The severity of the disorder is gauged by the number of symptoms present.

Different Kinds of Addiction

Addiction comes in many forms, impacting individuals differently. At Enlightened Recovery, we recognize the varied nature of these dependencies, including:

Alcohol Addiction
Drug Addiction (prescription and illicit drugs)
Behavioral Addictions (such as gambling or internet addiction)
Co-occurring Disorders (where addiction exists alongside mental health issues)
