A Short Info About Addiction
The definition of addiction is – a compulsive, chronic, physiological, or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence.
Over time, addiction can seriously interfere with all aspects of your daily life. It is not unusual for those experiencing addiction to go through the remission and relapse cycle and if these cycles are frequent, the addiction could become even more debilitating.
That is why it is extremely important to seek help before the addiction intensifies and the strength to overcome this condition diminishes.
At the Huauo clinic, our specialists have proficiency and experience in both harm reduction and in helping clients maintain abstinence by, treating the addiction and also mental health.
