Addiction
Addiction is a troubling brain disease for those who are stuck in the cycle of it and can be equally stressing for family members and friends. The problem can seem impossible to tackle, especially when there is no guidance of where to go for help. Addiction or chemical dependency is a complex brain disease and thus addiction has the same effect no matter what the drug of choice is: opiates, cocaine, marijuana, heroin, amphetamines, prescription medication, or any combination. Prolonged use of the addictive substance leads to tolerance, physical dependence, and uncontrollable craving, which leads to social, family, and health problems. Fortunately we at Alliant can help individuals dealing with this disease and can address different aspects of dependency and provide services and resources as needed.
