What is Addiction? and who does it affect?
Addiction is a condition where a person feels a strong, often
uncontrollable need to use a substance or engage in a behaviour, even
when it causes harm to themselves or others. It's not about weakness or
lack of willpower - it’s about pain, patterns, and coping mechanisms
that have taken over.
Addiction can show up in many forms, not just drugs or alcohol. That’s why we use the term “addiction umbrella”—because it covers a wide range of struggles, including:
Substance Misuse
Gaming and screen dependency
Gambling addiction
Food addiction or disordered eating patterns
Sex and love addiction
Codependency and unhealthy relationship patterns
Anyone from any background can experience addiction. It doesn’t discriminate - it affects people from all walks of life. That’s why our recovery approach is built on compassion, understanding, and lived experience - because healing starts with being seen and supported, not judged.
