Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. The individual pursuing reward or relief by substance use and other behaviors is addiction. The addiction is impairment in behavioral control, craving, inability to abstain and diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships. Like other chronic diseases, addiction can involve cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or premature death. Behavioral addiction or non-substance-related addiction is a recurring compulsion condition whereby a person engages in a specific activity despite harmful consequences to the person's health, mental state, or social life. Behavioral addiction is harmful or deviant if it results in negative consequences for the person addicted and those with whom they associate. The type of behaviors which some people have identified as been addictive include gambling, food, sex, pornography, computers, video games, internet, work, exercise, spiritual obsession, pain, cutting and shopping. Addiction severely alters brain areas critical to decision-making, learning and memory, and behavior control, which may help to explain the compulsive and destructive behaviors of addiction. Scientific studies demonstrate that the right mix of behavioral therapy, medication when available and personal support can help addicted people navigate the road to recovery. Learn how to pick an appropriate treatment approach. Addiction treatment is just the beginning. Long-term recovery requires a lifetime commitment to healthy decisions and actions. While relapse is common, families can prepare for it. Learn techniques to enhance the odds of long-term recovery.
