Addiction often begins with experimental use in social situations, but for some, it can progress to a more frequent need to use. Over time, a person may find they need more of a substance to achieve the desired effects, and eventually, they may rely on it just to feel “good.”
At Stems Therapy Collective, we understand how challenging addiction can be. We are here to support you through every step of the recovery journey.
Addiction can manifest in various ways, and symptoms may include:
- Feeling the need to use the substance regularly, whether daily or multiple times a day
- Intense urges or cravings for the substance(s)
- Needing increasingly larger amounts of the substance(s) to achieve the same effect
- Constantly seeking to ensure a supply of the substance(s)
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
- Engaging in behaviors you wouldn’t typically do, such as stealing, to obtain the substance(s)
- Spending significant time and energy on acquiring and using the substance(s)
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using
- Making unsuccessful attempts to quit using the drug
If any of these signs feel familiar, it may be time to consider addiction counseling. We offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these behaviors and the impact they have on your life.
