For example, drugs, alcohol and nicotine affect your body and mind in a way that is easy to enjoy. This feeling can create a desire to use these substances again. If you are dependent on a substance, not taking it can trigger unpleasant withdrawal symptoms or a &#8216;come down\u2019, and in some cases even cause physical sickness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to gambling, it may result in a similar feeling of euphoria after a win, followed by an urge to try again and re-create that high.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In regards to other addictions like sex, masturbation, porn, internet and gaming, the immediate accessibility of some makes it easy to fall victim to them. For example with the internet, porn and gaming, all it can take is simply turning on a device and accessing a website or game in someone&#8217;s own bedroom. The lack of barriers to indulge that impulse (not having to go out to obtain the vice, like alcohol for eg) can make the behaviours increase in frequency and therefore turn into addictions easier.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with certain genetic factors can be more likely to develop addictions. Environmental factors, such as being brought up by parents who are addicted, can also increase the risk. An addiction can be a way of escaping from difficult issues. Being unemployed or in poverty can increase the risk of addiction, along with stress and emotional or professional pressure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f45ddb elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f45ddb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-caaeb82\" data-id=\"caaeb82\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ff8d56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ff8d56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Addiction Treatment<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88a2b88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"88a2b88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/howarthpsychologicalservices.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/drew-hays-agGIKYs4mYs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"a man needing alcohol counseling in sydney\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" \/>Managing an addiction can be difficult and stressful, and it can have serious effects on a person&#8217;s work performance, relationships as well as physical and mental health.
