What is drug addiction?
What may start off as ‘harmless’ recreational use can quickly lead to dependence on the drug. Addiction is the compulsive and repeated seeking out of the drug(s) of choice. A person will continue using the drug, in spite of the negative consequences that the drug(s) has on their life, relationships, finances and health.
Signs and symptoms of drug addictions
As a person uses more and more of a substance, they begin to develop tolerance for that drug. The body needs more and more of the drug to get the same effects. The body becomes physically dependent on the substance as it begins to physiologically adapt to the drug. This means that when the drug is stopped, the body enters into withdrawal & cravings for the drug arise. Tolerance and physical dependence are major signs of addiction.
Other signs and symptoms of drug addiction include:
- Strong urges to use the drug
- Risky behaviours, either to get the drug or while taking the drug
- Inability to stop using and making excuses to continue using
- Secrecy and lying around drug use
- Inability to meet family, work and personal obligations
- Isolating self
- Loss of interest in other aspects of life
- Financial problems caused by drug use
- Depression and anxiety
- Changes to personality and appearance
- Health issues such as high blood pressure, nasal cavity damage.
- Withdrawal symptoms when attempting to quit
Withdrawal symptoms will vary depending on the drug(s) being used. These symptoms may include: nausea, lethargy, tremors, vomiting, depression, confusion, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe and dangerous depending on the drug(s) used and severity & duration of the addiction. Due to risk of seizure and death it is highly recommended that drug detox be undertaken in a residential detox centre under proper guidance and supervision.
Treatment for drug addiction
Getting support for a drug addiction can be an intimidating process, but you are not
alone. Reaching out for help is important and choosing residential support for detox and rehabilitation can improve your chances of recovering and reclaiming your life from addiction.

in a relaxed residential setting. Detox and withdrawal can be a crucial first step in
