Types of Addiction

At our center, we encounter a wide array of addiction types, each bringing its unique challenges to the recovery process. Recognizing the diversity in the nature of addictions is the first step towards providing effective care.

• Drugs: This category spans a broad spectrum, covering everything from prescription medications to illicit drugs, each with its withdrawal patterns and health impacts.

Behavioral Addictions

• Gambling: Often underestimated, gambling addiction can have devastating financial and emotional consequences.
• Eating Disorders: While not always classified as addiction, eating disorders share similar compulsive behavior patterns and require specialized treatment.
• Internet and Gaming: The addictive nature of digital activities is a growing concern, affecting individuals’ social and occupational lives.
