In the modern age, addiction to prescription drugs can be as problematic as an addiction to illegal drugs, like heroin. According to a study in The New Scientist, there are thousands hooked on strong painkillers, with experts calling the epidemic ‘a public health disaster.’

Addiction takes many different forms, and it’s not just drugs and alcohol. Some of the growing problems of the 21^st century include internet addiction and those hooked on video games- a habit that is often used as a form of escapism.

Do you think you might need treatment for food addiction, and are based in Surrey or Hampshire?

According to many studies, some foods can be as addictive as drugs, with scientists finding that fattening foods can even be as addictive as heroin and cocaine.  Like these drugs, they overload the pleasure centres in the brain. Since they trigger these pleasurable feelings, it’s no wonder certain foods are so moreish.

Foods that are particularly addictive include pizza, chocolate, cheese burgers, packaged biscuits and ice cream. Overeating can also alter brain function, leading to further problems with food addiction.

Why seek psychological treatment for food addiction?

Like drug addiction, compulsive overeating is also linked to psychological issues. We often eat to comfort ourselves, when we’re feeling lonely or depressed. If you can target the underlying issues, you’ll be much more likely to conquer your addiction.

Although food addiction might not seem serious, it’s effects are extremely detrimental. Obesity and high cholesterol are linked to hundreds of health problems; even an early death.

Signs of food addiction include:

• Secret eating
• Binging
• Compulsive body building
• An obsession with your body image.
• Avoiding social events

At Addiction Care, we offer treatment for anybody suffering from compulsive overeating or bulimia in Surrey and Hampshire.

‘If you can quit for a day, you can quit for a lifetime.’

(Benjamin Alire Sáenz).

Individualised therapy is often the best way to combat addiction. Because addiction is a complex disease, it is usually driven by both psychological and physiological factors.

Addiction also takes many different forms: alcohol and drugs, internet addiction, sex, food and spending, for example.  One of the biggest growing problems is internet addiction, which is linked to a poor attention span, depression, impulsiveness and anxiety.

Whatever form it takes, when at its most extreme, addiction can destroy people’s lives. We’ve all seen the consequences of alcohol and drug addiction at its worse. All too often the story doesn’t end well.

Sex addiction is described as any sexual activity that feels out of control. That could be anything from watching porn, voyeurism or visiting prostitutes to having one-night stands.

Although not as well-known as drug addiction or alcoholism, sex addiction can have devastating consequences on somebody’s life. Researchers also say that this form of addiction is on the rise, particularly in America. This is partly due to the fact that porn is more accessible than it’s ever been.

The internet also enables people to hook up with strangers much easier. Disturbingly it’s easier to cheat on your partner than it has ever been. Dating sites have even described as ‘fuel’ for this type of addiction. For some people, their habits with sex have become ungovernable and are ruining their ability to form lasting relationships. Sex addiction often requires the living of a double life, which inevitably catches up with someone.

Do you feel that your sexual habits are out of control? Are you based in Surrey?

Addiction Care are here to help clients from all over Surrey who are suffering from sex addiction.

‘The chains of alcohol are too light to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.’

(Anon).

There are many different theories as to what causes alcohol addiction. Most recently, it’s been linked to the lack of a key enzyme in the brain, according to the NHS. However, overall it is an extremely complex problem that’s driven by both psychological and physical causes. For instance, withdrawal from alcohol can be extremely debilitating, with symptoms like shaking and dry heaves.  But the drinker might also be emotionally dependent on alcohol.

Our effective treatment for alcohol addiction.

Contrary to popular belief, addiction isn’t only confined to drugs and alcohol. Technically you can be addicted to anything that stimulates your reward system. Sugar, work, video games, sex…

What precisely is sex addiction?

Sex addiction means you involve yourself in compulsive activities, despite the fact they incur negative consequences. Whether it means you can’t stop having affairs, or watching pornography gets in the way of your personal life, it could mean you need treatment.

Sex is a wonderful, pleasurable, natural part of life. But it’s when compulsive behaviour causes you physical or psychological damage that it becomes a problem. If you’re addicted to having impulsive sexual encounters, for example, it can destroy the relationship with your partner. They can often end up feeling manipulated and rendered powerful by your behaviour.

Similarly, if you’re addicted to porn, it can stop you enjoying real sexual encounters.

Do you have a problem with gaming addiction in Hampshire?

Internet and video game addiction is one of the fastest growing problems in the UK- and elsewhere in the world; in Japan, for example, there are boot camps for those with gaming addiction. Video games might offer escapism but this escapism can ultimately lead to a loss of fulfilment in the real world.

While gaming might not seem like a serious addiction, the ramifications are bigger than you think. Whether somebody fails their exams due to a gaming addiction, or it stops you having a social life, the consequences can actually be devastating. Part of the problem is that people don’t take gaming addiction seriously, even if somebody is glued to games all day. It can sap somebody of their motivation, and can compound social anxiety in the long term.

Like many addictive behaviour, gaming is fine in moderation; it’s when it takes over your life that it becomes a problem.

Our treatment in Hampshire is highly effective.

Treatment of gaming addiction begins with taking a look at the reality of the situation. With gaming addiction, this is often one of the most difficult steps. We can then help you face the problems that might be driving your addiction.

Is sex constantly on your brain in Surrey? We bet we’ve got your attention already. Even the word ‘sex’ can be used to snap people to attention- that’s how potent it is.

On the surface it might seem that sex addiction isn’t dangerous; but for many people, it can end up destroying their most intimate relationships. This is especially difficult if you dream of long term commitment and starting a family, or already have a family that is at stake.

Many people who have repeated affairs always promise their partner they’ll change, despite finding it impossible to do so. Whether you’re addicted to one night stands and love the thrill of the chase, or you can’t stop watching porn, addiction to sexual activities can end up being extremely inimical.

Since this type of addiction is often secretive, the person can end up consumed by guilt and shame.

Our treatment for sex addiction is ideal for anyone in Surrey.

At Addiction Care, our counselling starts with helping clients understand that abstinence does not mean not having sex, or refraining from relationships. Far from it- it’s about having a healthy relationship with sex.

Eating disorders are unfortunately on the increase in the UK, and they don’t just affect girls. In particular, social media has been blamed for fuelling unhealthy eating habits. According to the charity Beat, 725,000 people suffer from an eating disorder in the UK, with a majority suffering from anorexia or bulimia.

Bulimics can unfortunately often hide their habits, which can have extremely devastating effects. If you have bulimia, you often appear to have a healthy appetite, and the problems are usually behind closed doors.

Overeating in modern society.

In the modern age, there are also big problems with compulsive overeating, sometimes known as ‘food addiction’. This problem is even harder to detect, even though it causes shame, guilt, depression and isolation. It can also have a huge effect on your confidence, especially if your weight becomes a problem.

Drug addiction is considered by many to be a disease; this is because it eventually changes the structure and functioning of the brain.

Although it’s the addict that takes the initial decision to consume drugs, the addiction which follows affects self-control and prevents people making sound decisions. This is because drugs affect the communication system in the body, including the way we send, receive and process information. In particular it’s changes those parts of the brain that are critical for judgement, decision-making and behaviour control.

Some drugs, like heroin or cannabis, even have similar structures to natural neurotransmitters in the brain. Because of this similarity they ‘fool’ the brain into sending abnormal messages. The part of your brain that they most affect is ‘the reward system’ as your body eventually adapts to the drugs.

It’s also not uncommon for somebody to relapse when they come off drugs. But this merely means that they might need to try a different approach.

Are you looking for an Accredited Addiction Counsellor for drug addiction?

Drug addiction can destroy lives more than any other addiction. Although many people can use them recreationally, for others drugs take them to a more destructive place. This is especially true if they’re used as a coping mechanism, which is often how such problems starts.

Since drugs can completely change your behaviour, they can turn you into somebody you’re not. Friends and family often feel helpless and don’t know what to do. It can affect everything from your work to your relationships and family life, and stop you from living the life you want.

Drug addiction can also take many different forms, from Class A drugs to prescription drugs, such as strong painkillers. Whether it’s legal or not, the effects are ultimately the same.

Work through denial and start on the road to recovery.

Ultimately, the will to recover has to be yours. But professional help can make a big difference.

Addiction is any condition where someone persists in taking substances, or partaking in activities, even though it causes negative effects. It can be anything from playing too many video games, to taking drugs like cocaine. Even work itself can be an addiction.

The sufferer experiences withdrawal when they try to quit- whether it’s psychological or physical, or a combination of both. The addict’s first problem to tackle is their dependency on the substance or activity.

Although drugs and alcohol addiction are well-known, other addictions like overspending and playing videogames are now extremely common. The psychology of addiction can be extremely complex, and differs from person to person. But most damaging addiction rip through people’s live, regardless of the causes underlying them.

In the 21^st century, drug addiction takes many different forms. Although we traditionally associate it with Class A drugs like cocaine, there is growing problems with prescription drugs, particularly strong pain killers. There are also the dangers of certain drugs being available online.

However, street drugs like ecstasy are continuing to cause big problems too. A Global Drug Survey in 2016 polled drug users and found that stronger pills and powders are in circulation. This means that young people are more likely to end up in an emergency department.

In today’s often stressful world, many people turn to drugs to overcome anxiety and depression, only to make such problems worse. In the long term, drugs are never good as a coping mechanism.

Are you looking for treatment for alcohol addiction in Berkshire?

At Addiction Care, this is one of the most serious problems that we help people tackle. Affecting roughly 4% of women and 9% of men, the consequences of this addiction can be devastating.

Here are 10 reasons that alcohol addiction needs to be addressed.

1. It makes your blood pressure go through the roof.
2. Alcoholism causes mental health problems, and exacerbates existing ones.
3. It can lead to strokes at an early age.
4. Alcoholism leads to a loss of control that destroys relationships and ruins a person’s career.
5. Since it’s absorbed in your blood stream, alcohol affects every part of your body, particularly your liver.
6. Shockingly, consistently heavy drinking even causes your frontal lobes to shrink.
7. It wracks havoc on your digestive system and can damage your mouth. Eventually it can lead to dangerous internal bleeding.
8. It can cause trouble for your heart, and eventually lead to poisoning of the heart muscles, an irregular heartbeat and heart attacks or failure.
9. Drinking too much reduces your libido.
10. It also weakens your immune system, which means you’ll find it harder to fight off germs, viruses and all types of illnesses.

Alcoholism can turn somebody in a person that’s unrecognisable to who they normally are. It’s well known to make people more violent, reduces someone’s cognitive abilities, and impairs their judgement.

It’s also well-known to have a terrible effect on the body. Long term drinking can damage your heart, take its toll on your liver and will increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, including cancer of the liver.

However, unlike other drugs, alcohol is writ large in our culture. It’s much more socially acceptable than smoking cannabis or even nicotine.

Although heavy drinking is associated with teenagers, this isn’t necessarily always the case. Unfortunately, alcohol abuse has been growing among adults over 50, with an estimated 17% of people misusing alcohol or prescription drugs. Many young people also use it to self-medicate; particularly when suffering from every day stress.

If you’re concerned that you might be suffering from alcohol addiction, and you live in Hampshire, pay a visit to Addiction Care. Our friendly counsellor welcomes people of all ages, suffering from alcohol or drug addiction in Surrey or Hampshire.

Drug addiction is a brain disease that causes compulsive behaviour and leads to harmful consequences, both to the addict and those around them.

Unfortunately, nowadays, this doesn’t just include addiction to harder drugs like heroin or cocaine, but is often an addiction to prescriptive drugs like sleeping pills and codeine. This is an increasingly common problem in the both the UK and America.

Drug addiction is often a way of blotting out emotional pain, which is why it can be difficult to treat. While others only use them for recreational use, many people use drugs as a coping mechanism. Friends and family often suffer greatly due to an addict’s behaviour, despite wanting to help and support them.

It’s also problematic because many drugs disrupt the way nerve cells work, either by imitating the brain’s natural messengers or by overstimulating the reward circuit of the brain. That means you have to tackle both the physical and emotional reliance on the drug. But one thing is for sure: with the right support, drug addiction can be cured.

Are you based in Hampshire, and concerned about your addiction?

It’s been proven that a combination of counselling and addiction treatment medication is the most effective way to tackle drug addiction.

Alcohol is one of the most common addictions, and one of the most destructive- for both the sufferer and those around them. With millions of men, in particular, consuming 14 units a week, experts even think there should be warnings on bottles. New guidance recommendations have already lowered the limit for men from 21 to 14.

According to Drink Aware, men drinking this much don’t believe they’re putting their health at risk. This is despite the fact there is a definite link between alcohol and cancer, along with many other serious conditions. Recent research also found that only 1 in 10 know there is a link between alcohol and cancer.

New figures have shown that those in areas with high alcohol consumption have a lower life expectancy. This means people can lose as much as 19 months of their life.

Although drinking in moderation isn’t bad for you- some studies show it can actually be beneficial- alcohol addiction can have devastating consequences. It destroys families, damages relationships, and often ruins someone’s health and career.

At Addiction Care, we offer personalised treatment for every client suffering from alcohol addiction. Based in Guildford, Surrey, our counselling is ideal for those based in Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.

Addiction take many different forms and affects all kinds of people.

Although the most well-known addictions are drugs, alcohol and gambling, there is growing concern over the prevalence of internet addiction and those addicted to online gaming.

The latter in particular is linked to depression, OCD and attention deficit disorder. It’s especially considered to be a coping mechanism for young men who are suffering from depression. It’s also been linked to those who have suffered neglect, according to a study of 20,000 people by the University of Bergen.

The survey published in The Guardian showed that 40% were in the ‘higher echelons of society’, proving that drugs aren’t always linked to poverty. It also discovered that nearly one in three adults have taken illegal drugs at some point. However, of course, not all these led to addiction.

Do you require help with drug addiction in Berkshire?

Drug addiction is an extremely complex disease, with equally complex roots. More often than not it is a symptom of a painful past or emotional problems. Only recently Barack Obama commented how it should be treated as a health problem: not a criminal offence.

The US president was speaking at a drug abuse summit in Atlanta at the time. ‘The only way is to provide treatment’, he said. ‘For too long we’ve viewed drug abuse through the lens of criminal justice.’

Many people are even looking to treat sugar addiction as a type of drug addiction, given how it effects the brain. More seriously, prescription drugs are becoming a growing problem; especially strong pain killers.

Are you suffering from a problem with alcohol? Do you live in Hampshire?

Alcohol has such a presence in our everyday lives, you can forget it’s both physically and psychologically addictive- like most drugs. Almost everyone has a drink at some point; it’s part of our social lives and therefore much more likely to go unnoticed. While many people are drink and not get addicted, other people are much more susceptible.

According to the NHS, around 9% of men and 4% of women show signs of alcohol dependence.

Problems with alcohol are often ‘inherited’- if parents are heavy drinkers, then children are four times more likely to abuse alcohol. However, it’s also linked to those who suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychiatric disorders.

Alcohol addiction can lead to wide number of different health problems. This includes the risk of high blood pressure, strokes, coronary heart disease and liver disease. Long-term use will lead to the liver becoming scarred and prevented from working properly.

At Addiction Care, alcohol addiction is one of the most common treatments we treat. Based in Guildford, our addiction treatment is ideal for clients in Surrey or Hampshire. If you’re in Hampshire and require more information, click here.

Sex makes us feel good, so it’s not surprising it can be addictive. In fact, this addiction is actually similar to substance abuse, as powerful chemical substances are released during sex, in particular endorphins.

Although it’s not currently a diagnosable condition, research suggests that perverse sexual behaviour is indeed similar to chemical addiction.

The counselling service Relate describes sex addiction as any sexual activity which feels out of control, whether it’s sex itself, watching pornography, masturbation, using prostitutes or calling sex lines.

Relate also describe it as involving ‘frequent self-destructive or high-risk activities’ that are not emotionally fulfilling and that one is ashamed of. It’s also something that you cannot stop even though it’s causing frequent problems.  This might involve a ruined relationship with a partner or contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

The causes of sex and love addiction are often rooted in childhood and adolescence, with trauma and neglect often potential reasons.

If you require counselling for sex addiction, the trained counsellors at Addiction Care can help. Our therapists can help you regain control and resume a healthy, normal sex life with a partner. Based in Guildford, we are ideal for anybody suffering from addiction issues in Surrey.

Tackling a complex problem like drug addiction might be hard, but it is possible. And it’s always worth it.

Misuse of drugs not only damages your health; it has a devastating effect on your family life, your work and on wider society. Whether or not someone seeks help often means the difference between life and death. As Donald Lynn Frost once said, ‘Drugs take you to hell, disguised as heaven.’

According to The Independent, the five most addictive drugs in the world are heroin, cocaine, nicotine, barbiturates and alcohol.

Although people associate drug addiction with Class A drugs, there is a growing number of people addicted to prescription drugs, including strong pain killers and sleeping pills. This is not only dangerous, but can eventually lead to people using harder drugs.

While many people can use recreational drugs without getting addicted, other people are more susceptible to compulsive drug taking. This is often due to a myriad of factors, including a difficult past or an addictive personality. Because the impetus behind drug use is so varied it’s important to seek professional counselling, to help undercover what’s driving your addiction.

Often the effects of addiction can be absolutely devastating and far reaching. And it’s not just well-known Class A drugs like heroin or cocaine, which are causing problems. In America, addiction to prescription painkillers has grown so bad, that the Obama administration want to spend over $1 billion fighting it.

The internet has also made a lot of common addictions such as gambling, sexual addiction and compulsive over-spending, much more tempting.

Is your sex life negatively impacting your life?

The term ‘sex addiction’ is used to describe any sexual activity which feels out of control- it doesn’t necessarily mean having lots of sex. As long as you still feel in control of your habit and it’s not harming you or other people, then outside help usually isn’t necessary.

So, what are the signs of sex addiction?

Firstly, as aforementioned, there’s a feeling of not being in control. Whether you’re putting yourself in dangerous situations, watching too much pornography or are addicted to cybersex, there are plenty of scenarios where a person feels out of their depth. With the amount of material available on the internet, this is a growing problem for many people.

You might consistently pursue destructive sexual activities and want to stop, but be unable to.

Secondly, you believe there will be terrible consequences if you carry on with your current way of life.

Thirdly, many people end up neglecting their work or personal commitments in favour of sexual activity. You might also experience intense mood swings around times of sexual activity.

If you require treatment for this kind of addiction, and you’re located in Surrey, get in touch with Addiction Care. Based in Guildford, we help clients in a variety of ways, which you can discover more about here.

Gambling unfortunately still has a glamorous image, thanks to its association with James Bond and gangster films. Like many addictive habits, it is fine in moderation, but can end up causing problems when done in excess.

When someone is addicted to gambling, it can destroy their financial security not to mention their relationships. With virtual casinos cropping up everywhere, whether it’s virtual slot machines or online poker, the temptation is unfortunately always present. Obviously, casinos don’t have your best interests at heart- they are merely out to make money, and often encourage gamblers as much as possible.

Paradoxically debt is often used as an excuse to gamble, even when deep down someone know it’s makes the situation worse. This is because there’s more to gambling addiction than just money- it’s usually a symptom of a larger problem is one’s life.

At Addiction Care, our treatment for gambling addiction is ideal for anyone in Berkshire. Based in Guildford, Surrey, our treatment focuses on the reality of the situation, and the underlying causes.

Don’t gamble your happiness and security away.

Did you know, it’s currently Eating Disorders Awareness week? Organised by Beat, this international aware events helps to fight myths and misunderstandings surrounding eating disorders.

Last year, a report published by Beat found that 50% of those suffering from such disorders are affected by binge eating.

Compulsive overeating in a growing problem in modern society, and is often accompanied by guilt and secrecy. In particular, ‘emotional eating’ is a huge problem and many people’s way of coping with negative emotions. Stress, anxiety and even boredom can easily drive food addiction.

Gambling is one of the easiest addictions to understand. After all, who doesn’t get a buzz from a potential win? How many of us have bought a lottery ticket, or tried out a slot machine? The anticipation and thrill of the game gives a quick and easy source of adrenaline.

However, when it’s out of control, it can have devastating consequences and even lead to being arrested if you indulge in criminal activities.

It’s estimated there are as many as 593,000 gambling addicts in the UK. It’s also been found that gamblers are more likely to suffer from stress, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. There’s a link between gambling and alcohol abuse, according to the NHS.

This is often described as a hidden illness, because there are no obvious physical signs, like there are with drug or alcohol addiction. Many people feel the need to be secretive when they have a problem with gambling. This shame can have an additional impact on their self-esteem.

Gambling can be most effectively solved with talking therapy.

If you’re suffering from gambling addiction in Surrey, visit Addiction Care. We can help you face the reality of your addiction and, through therapy, identify the emotional triggers behind your need to gamble.

Are you looking to find treatment for sex addiction in Surrey?

This type of addiction can be one of the hardest to break, as it can feel a part of who you are. While drugs and alcohol aren’t integral parts of us, our sexuality certainly is.

There’s also no denying that sex is everywhere in popular culture, from hot-and-heavy movies to millions of pornography videos online. Gone are the days when anyone had to buy top-shelf magazines to get their fix.

A healthy sexual appetite isn’t a problem, but when sex dominated your life and even ruins relationships, this is when it’s time to seek help. Sexual addiction often leads to someone leading a double life, whether having affairs or constantly looking for sexual material, either online or elsewhere. Constantly seeking sex outside a relationship often means there’s underlying issues to confront.

Some people even up in legal trouble due to their sexual urges.

For expert help for sexual addiction in Surrey, our team are always keen to help. Addiction Care are based in Guildford, Surrey, and provide specialist treatment for a wide range of addictions, including those related to sex.

Sex: the mere word is enough to bring anyone to attention.

In the media, it’s permeates everything, from movies to magazine advertising and TV shows.

If you suffer from prurient thoughts and it’s overtaking your life, and even affecting your relationships, you might need sex addiction treatment.

Sex addiction and ‘love addiction’ are closely linked, but sex addiction mostly involves physical urges, whereas love addiction is about the emotional side of matters. However, since sex is also linked to intimacy, it’s often more complicated than that.  Although it isn’t a categorised mental health condition, many people find their sexual activities negatively affect their life. And that’s often when it’s time to seek help.

Sex addiction can be more than a need for sex itself, whether with casual partner, prostitutes or escorts; it can also involve a preoccupation with porn. This is growing problem as pornography is so readily available nowadays. All it takes is the click of a button, and you have access to thousands of videos.

For sex addiction treatment in Guildford, contact Addiction Care.

Our counsellors will help you address the underlying factors, driving your preoccupation with sex, helping you to re-establish healthy relationships.

Drug addiction is a complex disease, involving both psychological and physical triggers.

Quitting, therefore, takes more than just will power; but it’s always worth it. Over time, addiction can tear through someone’s life, wracking havoc on their relationships, work commitments and general health. And all too often, it ends in tragedy.

With more deaths linked to prescribed drugs, which are sold online, there’s been growing concern over the illegal selling of such substances. These include drugs used to treat anxiety and insomnia, such as benzodiazepines.

Addiction to illegal drugs might be more well-known; but there’s also the exponential problem of prescription drugs, like codeine-based pain killers. In today’s high-stress environments, many people feel drugs are the only way to cope. Drug addiction becomes a coping mechanism, which over time, turns into full-scale addiction.

For drug addiction treatment in Guildford, contact us at Addiction Care. Based in Guildford itself, our trained counsellors can help you turn over a new leaf. The New Year is an excellent time to move your life forward and confront your addiction. We address the underlying issues behind the problem and attack it at its roots.

Unfortunately, alcohol addiction doesn’t just affect the individual, but the whole family, relationships, work colleagues, and more. And it not only affects your personal relationships. Without treatment, alcohol dependence can lead to long-term problems with your health, having been linked to any number of diseases, including cirrhosis and liver failure.

Many people binge drink during the New Year period, but it rarely continues into the month of January.

If you have a problem with alcohol, it might have seemed less evident during the Christmas period, when everybody is drinking more. Since this is also a challenging time emotionally, it is often tempting to drink frequently, offering many risks for those already addicted. Often you have to reach a point of crisis before seeking help.

Do you think you are suffering from dependence on alcohol? Do you want to turn over a new leaf in 2016? The New Year is a wonderful time to move your life in a positive direction.

Do you require alcohol addiction treatment, and are based in Surrey?

Our accredited addiction care counsellors are always keen to help at Addiction Care. Based in Guildford, Surrey, we help patients from all across the area. For more about our services, simply click here.

Alcohol abuse means you continue drinking, even when it’s causing problems, whether with your relationships, career or any other area of your life. Although people take drug addiction seriously, alcohol is more socially acceptable, despite long-term and heavy drinking being linked to serious health problems.

In particular, the emotionally dependent alcoholic is particularly hard to pick out. Although consumption may not be obvious, alcohol is used to cope with everyday problems.

Many people associate the New Year with a fresh start, especially those looking to change their life. But the truth is, any time is the right time, for those looking for alcohol treatment.

Christmas and the run-up to the New Year, however, aren’t easy times to change your drinking habits. Everyone around you in drinking more, and the temptation is far greater- not to mention, people are less likely to notice over-drinking.

If you’re looking for treatment in Hampshire, Addiction Care are always here for you. Whether you have reached a point of crisis or your family advice you to seek help, our treatment is effective, supportive and explores the emotional triggers that drive your drinking.

Our clinic is in Guildford and perfect for those based in Surrey, Hampshire or Berkshire.

At this time of year, a heavy drinker can often go unnoticed. From Christmas parties to New Year’s Eve, everybody tends to binge on booze at this time of year. But for most people, the over-drinking stops once the parties are over.

Do you suffer from a problem with alcohol?

Signs of alcohol abuse often include:

• Problems at work. This can include being absent due to drink-related problems.
• Problems with relationships caused by drink.
• Memory loss after blackouts.
• Drinking alone.
• Hurting either yourself or somebody else when drinking
• Legal problems related to alcohol addiction, such as drink driving.
• Friends or family members being worried about your habits.
• Drinking even though you have health problems, which are made worse by drink.
• Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shaking and anxiety.

Many people are in denial over having a drinking problem, even though friends and family have recognised it for a long time.

If you need alcohol treatment in Berkshire, contact Addiction Care in 2016. We can help you move beyond the denial phase and onto active recovery. You can have a brand new start in the New Year and transform your life.

Remember: ‘Your life doesn’t get better by chance; it gets better by change.’

For many people on the outside, it can be hard to understand drug addiction. Although they know drugs can make people feel good, it’s hard to comprehend why someone would sacrifice their life to them. From your job to your relationships, everything can be destroyed in the wake of drug addiction.

However, once someone’s in the throes of addiction, it has a huge effect on the brain. Repeated drug use, for instance, can change someone’s ability to concentrate and make sound decisions. Some people are also more susceptible to addiction than others.

Because many people have addictive personalities, drug addiction is commonly described as a disease, which some people are more likely to suffer from than others.

Drug addiction is also a way of masking emotional pain. When we cannot cope with an influx of negative emotions, we will do anything to numb the feeling. Unfortunately, nowadays, drug addiction isn’t just about Class A substances, like ecstasy and heroin. There is a growing number of people addicted to prescription drugs, such as strong painkillers.

If you need help with drug addiction, and you live in Hampshire, contact Addiction Care. We are based in Guildford, Surrey, and keen to help anybody in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire.

Do you need sexual addiction help in Surrey?

Described as a ‘progressive intimacy disorder’, characterised by compulsive sexual thoughts or acts, this addiction can have extremely negative consequences.

With online pornography more accessible than ever, along with chat rooms, cyber-sex and online dating, it’s no wonder it’s a growing problem in the modern world. Sexual imagery is also found everywhere, from advertising campaigns to movies and TV shows. There are increasing levels of provocation everywhere we look, making it harder to keep thoughts elsewhere.

Although it might not seem as detrimental as drug addiction, it can seriously impact your daily life.

If your intimate relationships are being ruined by sexual addiction, it might be time to seek help in 2016. It’s extremely hard to remain in a healthy relationship, when suffering from this kind of addiction, with many sufferers cheating on their partners or lying to them. Yet, paradoxically, this type of addiction is linked to a strong desire for intimacy and connection with others.

For those with problems related to food, Christmas can be a truly hellish period. In particular, it’s extremely easy to over-indulge at this time of year, when everybody is offering you chocolate, sweets and Turkey sandwiches.

If you have a genuine problem with food, don’t wait until the New Year to seek help.

Food addiction may not sound like a serious problem, but when you look at the health problems which arise as a result, it is indeed a significant issue, and one worth resolving. Obesity is a growing problem all over the world and linked to various health issues, including cancer.

Studies have shown that, for some people, the pleasure and reward centres of the brain are activated by food, in the same way other people are by drugs. In particular foods loaded with salt, sugar or fat are especially moreish. It’s not so much an addiction to food itself, but a psychological compulsion, with the process of eating and the rewards associated with it the real addiction.

If you suffer from compulsive over-eating, Addiction Care can help you turn over a new leaf in 2016. Our team can help you fully confront the problem and understand what drives your addiction to seeking comfort in food. We are based in Guildford, Surrey, and help people from all walks of life.

Gaming addiction is often taken most seriously by parents, who see how much time that it robs from their children. Especially if it interferes with their studies. However, it can affect people of all ages.

Gaming offers the kind of escapism that many seek from the difficulties of the modern world. However, it has a number of negative consequences.

Symptoms of this addiction include: compulsive game playing, social isolation, mood swings and decline in imagination, with strong emphasis on in-game achievements.

Other signs include a strong preoccupation with games, even when not playing; withdrawal and feeling sad, anxious irritable or moody when unable to play games; being unable to cut down on time spent playing; giving up other activities to play games; using games to escape from negative moods or events; risking and losing relationships because of your addiction. From personal relationships to career opportunities- these can all be affected by this problem.

In today’s technological age, internet addiction- whether to games or not- is one of the biggest growing problems. With smart phones here, there and everywhere, it’s no wonder this problem is becoming so big.

If you need gaming addiction treatment in Surrey, consider our Guildford-based team. We can help you fully face the problem and help you escape from this fantasy world. For more info simply click here.

Did you know, it’s currently Alcohol Awareness Week? During this time there’s a number of local and national campaigns revolving around alcohol. For those who have trouble with alcohol addiction, it can be a sobering reminder of its ill effects.

At this time of year, alcohol consumption usually goes through the roof, and it can be harder to spot those who have a problem with drink.

More than 9 million adults in the UK drink more than the recommended daily allowance, according to Alcohol Concern. It is the causal factor in more than 60 medical conditions, including mouth, throat, stomach, liver and breast cancers.

Since alcohol’s more than 61% cheaper than in the 1980s, it’s become more accessible to a wide range of age groups. One more sobering statistic is that it costs the NHS over £3.5 billion a year.

If you have a problem with drinking and need alcohol treatment in Hampshire, contact Addiction Care. We want to help stop your suffering and reclaim your life- even during a difficult time like Christmas and New Year’s.

We are based in Guildford, and are ideal for those people all across Hampshire.

Sex on the brain?

The societal obsession with sex is nothing new; in fact it’s safe to say it has spanned most of human history. But an addiction to sexual activity has only recently been recognized as a problem.

Like drugs and gambling, sex makes us feel good; it releases powerful feel-good chemicals that enhance our well-being. But what happens when our need for sex, like drugs, is filling an emotional hole? Or underlying problems? And what happens when we cannot maintain a relationship, because of it?

Someone addicted to sex cannot control their problems- much the same way an alcoholic can’t. Whether you’re addicted to sex itself, or pornography, masturbation, prostitutes or sex chat lines, the problem can prevent you having a long-term relationship. If you feel you can’t control your urges, then it could signify you need professional help.

Drinking becomes more common at this time of year. From Bonfire Night parties to Christmas meals, everybody from teenagers to adults are partying much more, which inevitably involves more beer, wine or cocktails.

More than any other time of year, heavy drinking becomes more socially acceptable. It is strongly associated with having a good time, so those with drinking problem can easily go under the radar.

According to recent reports in The Guardian, a quarter of men and 18% of women in England exceed the weekly limits for alcohol consumption. The long-term consequences of alcohol addiction can be devastating; it not only affects the brain, heart and liver, it’s been strongly linked to various types of cancer.

Nobody knows exactly what causes alcohol addiction, but it’s likely to be a combination of factors, including genes and environmental pressures.

Drug addiction is a complex disease. For those who don’t suffer from such problems it is often frustrating and hard to understand. All they can see is the negative consequences, and wonder why the person doesn’t just quit. Family and friends also feel helpless when they see someone on a downward spiral.

The truth is drug addiction isn’t just a way of masking emotional pain. Once a person is addicted, it changes the pathways in the brain, and causes long-term problems with both your mental and physical health. It can also affect your ability to maintain employment and negatively impact social relationships.

Nowadays drug addiction problems aren’t just limited to well-known substances, like cocaine or heroin. Unfortunately prescription drugs like codeine and strong painkillers are a growing problem.

Many people delay seeking help for various reasons, including social stigmas, fear or sheer denial. As a consequences it often doesn’t happen until you reach crisis point.

Do you live in Berkshire and need help with drug problems? We can help you confront the reality of your addiction, get clean and address the underlying triggers driving your addiction. Our team want you to, not only to achieve sobriety, but actively enjoy it.

Food is one of life’s greatest pleasure. That is, as long as our eating habits aren’t out of control. Unfortunately, obesity is one of the biggest growing problems in the western world. In the UK alone over 32 million people are overweight. More than a third of children are also overweight once they leave primary school. These are scary statistics and make one wonder what’s gone wrong.

With overeating, it’s not so much the food itself, as the process of eating which is addictive.

In this regard it’s what’s known as a psychological compulsion. It also falls under the category of a behavioural addiction. Overeating is often a way to compensate for something that’s missing, and is draining emotionally, mentally and physically.

Bulimia is another way of using food to deal with stress or anxiety. Like over-eating it causes the sufferer to feel guilt and shame afterwards.

At Addiction Care you’ll find help with both over-eating and bulimia. Based in Guildford, we can help you regain confidence and self-esteem, along with a healthy lifestyle. We do this by helping you gain control over the situation and by using food plans and expert therapy.

Sex: it’s everywhere in today’s modern society. TV programmes and movies are surfeited with it, while advertising deploys it constantly to get attention. No wonder sex addiction is so hard to break. While advertising of cigarettes has been banned, a sex addict can rarely escape sexual imagery.

Since it often shuts down the emotional parts of the brain, by focusing on the physical, sex can be a form of escapism. With the easy access of pornography, there is a growing number of people who find it hard to control sexual urges, even if it puts their relationship at risk.

Sex addiction is defined by Relate as any sexual activity which feels out of control.  Whether your relationship has been ruined by sexual infidelity or you can’t control your sexual urges, you might need sex treatment.

Do you continue to drink, even though it causes problems? Do you have a strong craving or need to drink, every day?

If so, it sounds like you’re suffering from alcohol addiction. This problem affects people from all walks of life, of any age and background. It certainly doesn’t discriminate, although it’s usually always masking some emotional pain. The first step towards recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Alcoholism has been described as ‘the only disease that tries to convince you, that you don’t have it’.

It is often difficult to move beyond this stage of self-denial, because the body becomes accustomed to drink. You might even suffer withdrawal symptoms, such as shaking or dry heaves. Conversations are forgotten in a haze of drink, while you feel you need it to function socially.

Perhaps you have reached a crisis point and realise that you need help. If you require alcohol treatment in Hampshire, contact the team at Addiction Care.

Our therapy can help you move past the denial stage. We will provide the support you need to re-build your life. This includes exploring the issues that lie at the heart of addiction. Treatment can be done individually or as a group.

Based in Guildford, we are easily accessible for those in Hampshire.

Finding help for drug addiction is an important step. First and foremost, it means admitting that you have a problem. Too often, denial stops many people from moving forward. This is particularly true when it comes to prescription drugs. Since they’re legal and more acceptable, this is a growing problem. Long term use of Valium or codeine, for instance, is just as detrimental.

While some people can use drugs recreationally, others suffer from addictive tendencies.

Since they affect the brain, drugs and mental health are closely linked. We take drugs because we feel bad; they then alter our brain chemistry and make us dependent. Then we take more, because we feel even worse, until it becomes a coping mechanism.  It’s a vicious cycle that must be broken.

Are you looking where to find drug help? If you’re in the county of Berkshire, pay a visit to Addiction Care. Since we’re in Guildford, our services are perfect for clients in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire.

We will explore the underlying issues driving your addiction. Emotional pain is often numbed by drugs. By confronting these issues, you are less likely to relapse.

Some people have a far higher sex drive than others. This isn’t a bad thing, unless it starts to control your life. If your sexual activities make you feel ashamed or guilty, it’s often a sign you’re addicted; especially if it causes problems with relationships. Conversely, this problem often stems from a desire for intimacy.

In today’s modern world, pornography is more accessible than ever. Modern culture is also suffused with sexual imagery, making it difficult to forget your urges.

Signs you’re suffering this problem include: a feeling of a loss of control; destructive high risk sexual activities; shame and depression; intense mood swings around sexual activity; neglecting social or work commitments in favour of sexual acts; and repeatedly trying to stop, but being unable to.

If you want a healthy partnership, this issue naturally gets in the way.

Drug addiction is a complex problem, affecting both the mind and body. Contrary to misconceptions, going clean takes more than mere will power. This is because repeated use of drugs changes the way the brain functions.

Some people seem more susceptible to addiction than others, with many able to use drugs without getting addicted. However, for others, it can take over their life. Factors which make people vulnerable include a family history of addiction, traumatic experiences in childhood and mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. Drugs are particularly a problem if they fulfil a particular need. For instance, to calm someone when they feel anxious or stressed.

Not only well-known drugs, like cocaine and heroin, are an issue. Unfortunately, there’s also a growing problem of addiction to pain killers or prescription drugs. This is a hidden epidemic in the UK and other countries.

If you’re in Hampshire, Surrey or Berkshire, Addiction Care are keen to help. We can help clients move through the denial stage, before exploring the complex issues which cause their addiction.

Addiction takes a number of different forms, and that includes sex. Sex addiction includes being addicted to not only sex itself, but pornography, masturbation and possibly visiting prostitutes/using sex lines.

Although there is nothing wrong with a high libido, it shouldn’t take over your entire life. During sex addiction, a person often suffers compulsive sexual thoughts and acts.

It can ruin relations between you and a partner if out of control. You might even have to look elsewhere, which can completely destroy your relationship. As a consequence, sex addicts often have long-term relationship and intimacy problems. This is very sad, because it’s often the drive for intimacy that drives such an addiction.

Sex addiction can be hard to kick. Our culture and advertising is flooded with sexual images and television shows. However, it is more than possible.

Do you require sex addiction treatment? If you live in Berkshire, Hampshire or Surrey, consider Addiction Care. Based in Guildford, we provide comprehensive counselling for all clients. Our experienced sex addiction therapists can help you return to normal behaviour.

At the bottom of alcohol dependency, there is always pain. Discovering the pain and healing it is part of breaking the cycle.

Because this drug (and it is a drug) is widely accepted by society, we get the idea that it isn’t dangerous. Unfortunately this simply isn’t true. Many people who aren’t susceptible to addiction, can drink socially without developing dependency. But when someone is addicted to alcohol, it is the most toxic and potent of any drug.

Alcoholism isn’t just bad for your health, it wracks havoc on your relationships, career and prospects.

Here at Addiction Care, this is one of the most common addictions we deal with.

The cycle of addiction is difficult to break. But we can help you break free from this cycle. If you feel you have a problem, you’ve already reached the first step towards recovery. One of the hardest things to do with any addiction is admit you have a problem. If other people round you have regularly criticised your drinking, it might hurt. But this is often a sign that you need to change.

When you feel ready to make that change, simply get in contact. We look forward to hearing from you. Based in Guildford, we are ideal for those in Hampshire and Surrey.

To contact us today call 01483 533 808.

Do you continue to drink, even though it’s causing problems? Are you reliant on alcohol, to the point where you physically and mentally crave it?

Alcohol is a presence in most people’s lives. Since it’s so common and part of our social lives, a drinking problem can often go unnoticed. That is, until it begins to cause problems.

Alcohol addiction is one of the most harmful of all addictions. Just like drugs, it causes change in the brain and body. It has a devastating effect on your health, career and relationships. Alcoholism rips families apart and ultimately ruins lives. Unfortunately the only person who can decide to change, is the addict themselves. For friends and families this is often the most difficult reality

Addiction is often a lonely place. The first step to treatment is admitting you have a problem.

If you need alcohol addiction treatment in Surrey, simply contact Addiction Care. Based in Guildford, we want to help your journey to recovery. We understand how vulnerable addiction makes you feel. It takes courage and resolves to begin recovery. Once you make the decision, we are here to help.

Therapy is highly effective for a number of issues, particularly addiction. Since humans are highly social beings, talking is extremely effective at solving problems. It provides not only solace but helps to work out a way forward.

Many people believe therapy is absolutely essential in combating addiction. It gives you somewhere to go when you’re worried about relapse. It helps you deal with stress without feeling the need for alcohol or drugs to cope. Since many addicts suffer a strong chance of relapse, this could prove invaluable.

For 1-1 therapy in Berkshire, simply contact Addiction Care.

Sensitive but firm, we believe in providing a crucial shift in perspective. We believe, like many others, that addiction is an illness and not a personality flaw.

Of all addictions, alcohol addiction is one of the toughest. Since we live in a world where social drinking is common, it’s also quite hard to detect. Often when people abuse alcohol, they don’t realise they have a problem.

Alcohol is just as deadly as drugs. In fact, technically it is a drug, but because its ubiquity this is easy to overlook. If invented in the modern age, it would probably be considered a Class A drug.

Signs you or a family member/friend have a problem include: feeling guilty or ashamed after drinking; lying to hide drinking habits; having people worried about your drinking habits; needing to drink to feel relaxed or better; forgetting what you did while drinking; and regularly drinking more than intended.

For alcohol addiction treatment in Surrey, simply contact Addiction Care. Based in Guildford, we provide personalised treatment for every client. Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions we treat.

At Addiction Care, we understand this addiction can consume people for years. That’s why we want to give you the help and support you need. By exploring the emotional triggers that drive this addiction, we get to the heart of the problem.

Addiction is a cruel beast. Ripping through lives and destroying families, relationships, health, careers and quality of life, it’s a hard condition to tackle. But one thing is for sure: it can be done.

People suffer from addiction to a number of things, not just alcohol and drugs. For instance, sex addition is reported to be on the rise in Bristol. However, there’s no doubt drug and alcohol addiction is particularly deadly. These are also the two most common addictions. With the ubiquity of social drinking, emotional dependency on alcohol can be hard to spot.

In today’s modern age, there are many addicted to the internet and video games. This particular addiction often robs someone of a proper life.

Whatever kind of problem you have, 1-1 therapy is often highly effective. If you don’t want to share your problems with a group, it’s a great way to explore individual issues. Ultimately, ending addiction is your choice. But everybody needs help and support when tackling addiction.

For 1-1 therapy in Berkshire, simply contact Addiction Care. We will help you take back control of your life. Based in Guildford, we offer personalised treatment for every client and can help anyone from age 16+.

Food addiction is a serious problem in the UK. With obesity levels hitting record levels, it is putting a strain on NHS services. Last year there was on average 530,000 admissions due to weight-related problems.

When many people are stressed, they turn to food for comfort. It isn’t actually the food which is addictive; it’s more the process of eating it. Stimulating reward pathways in the brain, craving food is a behavioural addiction rather than related to substances.

Unfortunately, unlike other additions, this problem is usually relatively hidden. Binge eating often isn’t taken seriously enough, despite the fact it causes long-term problems. It is often a vicious cycle, and can affect both men and women.

Are you looking to find food addition help in Hampshire? If you feel you have no control over your eating, Addiction Care can help. Based in Guilford, we want you to regain confidence and self-esteem.

Addiction Care begin by helping people face self-denial, therefore bringing a touch of reality. At the same time, we look to mitigate feelings of shame and guilt. After this, we will create a healthy and nutritional food plan.

If gambling is all you can think about and it is affecting you financially, emotionally and your partner/family relationships, then I can help with the gambling addiction treatment programmes I have available.

Only once you have taken full ownership of your addiction and the negative effects it is having on your life and the people you care about, can recovery begin. I help through the power of talking with you and helping you explore your past.

Having any type of addiction is extremely difficult to deal with and talk about, however, when the addiction is to sex which can be seen as a taboo subject then it can be made that bit more harder to discuss. However, having an addiction to sex can be as damaging to relationships and your personal wellbeing as much as any other type of addiction. As such sex addiction needs to be treated the same as an addiction to substances such as alcohol or drugs.

An addiction to sex can take many forms, from having constant urges to have sexual intercourse covertly with strangers through to compulsive masturbation or watching pornography (to name a few). The need for those types of activities will affect your normal day-to-day life. Like any other type of addiction there will be an underlying cause as to how and why this addiction has manifested itself. I am here to help you find out why so a recovery programme can then be introduced.
