Understanding Addiction

Addiction is most commonly considered a brain disease. Like all brain related disorders addiction changes the brains balance and chemical structure. Drug and alcohol addiction can directly effects brain functions and change how the brain reacts to situations. It leaves a lasting imprint on the mind. Addiction doesn't start with the use of drugs or alcohol, its starts with repeated use. The brain changes and cravings are no longer controlled.

Addiction directly affects the frontal lobe of the brain. This heightens the impulse activities in the brain which leads to more consistent abuse. Reasoning is decreased and behavior becomes completely erratic. Life and work and social situations take a back seat to the chance at feeding the addiction, a very compulsive reaction. In this brain change addiction almost becomes a reflex like breathing or blinking.

People don't choose addiction. They choose to imbibe in addictive substances and addiction is developed over time. The brain develops a natural impulse for these addictive substances and the decision making ability of the brain is compromised. Addiction then becomes compulsive and the ability to make decisions recessive and unimportant. It is a misconception that they are helpless, but with and addiction they are being controlled.

Another misconception is that it is best to let the individual hit bottom before they get treatment. The thought that people only in that dire hour will see the problem that addiction provides is not true. The truth is that alcohol and drug rehab is effective at any stage of addiction. It is easier to treat in addictions earlier stages. When true dependency is formed to many substances, withdrawal can have many adverse effects on the body and mind. At this point treatment can be life saving for these withdrawal symptoms.
