Drug Addiction
Addiction is a complicated condition influenced by many factors. Genetics, environment, and life stress all play a role in how addiction develops.
Some people use drugs without losing control, while others find that, over time, they can’t stop. They experience strong cravings and face negative consequences from their use. Even when they want to cut back or quit, they may find it nearly impossible to do so on their own.
When someone can’t stop using despite these challenges, it’s usually a sign that addiction has taken hold.
Symptoms of Drug Addiction
Sometimes it can be difficult to know the difference between normal recreational drug use and the sort of drug use that rises to the level of addiction.
Understanding some of the symptoms of drug addiction can be helpful in understanding the severity and what sorts of treatment to seek.
Common Symptoms of Drug Addiction:
- Strong cravings – feeling an intense urge or need to use the drug.
- Loss of control – using more than intended or being unable to cut back.
- Neglecting responsibilities – problems at work, school, or home due to drug use.
- Withdrawal symptoms – feeling sick, anxious, or irritable when not using.
- Building tolerance – needing more of the drug to get the same effect.
- Continued use despite consequences – using drugs even when it causes health, legal (like DUIs), financial, or relationship problems.
Like other medical conditions, starting off with a professional evaluation can help you determine the severity of the issue and help create a plan.
Our Drug Addiction Treatment
Because addiction is so complex, the right support system is essential. That’s exactly what we offer at Green Hill Recovery.
Unlike many programs, we bring together psychiatrists, therapists, coaches, and family therapists on one team so that every part of your care is connected. Addressing medical, mental health, and family needs together gives people the best chance at lasting recovery.
Substance use, addiction, and recovery also change over time. Some people may not need more than psychiatry and therapy, and with the right medications and strategies, their substance use becomes less of a problem. Others face more serious challenges and need higher levels of care, like a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
That’s why our treatment model is built to support every stage of recovery. We make it possible to step up or step down the level of care as needs change, while providing ongoing support for long-term recovery.
