Addiction
What It Is:
Addiction is when substance use takes over, affecting your life, relationships, and health. It’s a challenging cycle, but it’s also one that you can overcome with the right support.
What This Might Look Like:
You may feel a constant craving or dependency on substances, using despite negative consequences. Addiction can strain relationships and lead to health issues.
How This Could Impact Your Life:
Addiction can interfere with every aspect of life, from work and relationships to physical health. It often leads to financial or legal troubles if untreated.
Statistics:
Around 21 million Americans struggle with addiction, yet only about 10% receive treatment. Recovery rates improve significantly with treatment and support.

Medications like Suboxone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, and Vivitrol are effective, along with counseling. As a PMHNP, I can provide both medication and therapeutic support for addiction.
