Addiction is described in many different terms like disease, illness, or disorder, but one fact that remains the same is that it impacts an equal number of lives as any other common disease does. With the passing time, the list of addictions is increasing and the majority of them require professional care and rehabilitation treatment.

The stigma surrounding addiction has already done more damage even to those who have even thought of quitting. However, the rise of awareness and the establishment of rehabilitation centres are helping many who are taking the initiative to quit their addictions. Though a lot of addictions are still not actively recognized as an addiction, many types are being cured at rehabilitation treatment centres with the help of diverse approaches.  Below are the most common types that require attention:

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction is the most common addiction impacting the majority of people. There can be different reasons why someone delved into this addiction, but once casual drinking turns into an addiction, the conclusion is always scary. Many rehabilitation treatment centres offer diverse approaches like individually planned treatment to diagnose the underlying issues, professional counselling, group therapy, medication, and nutritional changes.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction starts with consuming opioids as painkillers to treat severe pain and relax muscles, but it has a sedative-like effect making people easily get addicted to opioids and start overconsuming them. The treatment for opioid addiction is a hard path to travel and is often associated with severe withdrawal symptoms and health hazards. Rehabilitation treatment centres treat this addiction with greater concern including medical detox, support groups, and behavioural therapy.

Cocaine Addiction

Though illegal in the majority of countries for consumption, the cases related to cocaine addiction are still increasing. It is more like a substance abuse and comes in a white powder form. Once it enters the body, it elevates the level of energy and euphoria and mixes with the body’s nervous system. It can affect the brain and other important body parts and cause long-term damage. Giving up cocaine addiction on its own is next to impossible and the only viable option is a rehabilitation treatment centre.

Dopamine Addiction

It may be an alien term for the majority as dopamine is usually best described as a pleasure hormone. Dopamine addiction can refer to all those medicines that people consume to release this pleasure hormone so it is the addiction to those medicines. To treat this addiction, it is essential to know the medicine being consumed, which is best done by rehabilitation centres. They help with the withdrawal and work on triggering the natural pleasure triggers by getting you involved in various activities.

Addiction always brings unpleasant experiences for the patients as well as their families and friends. It is never an easy road to travel to get rid of any type of addiction because it consumes a human completely. The best way is to get professional help and be admitted to rehabilitation centres where the best approach is put in place to treat the addiction.
