Are you or your loved one struggling with addiction?
Break the substance dependency and consider 12 Step Program for addiction.
Addiction is a compulsive brain ailment categorized by its inability to abstain despite adverse consequences, shifts in behavioral controls, compulsive cravings, and abnormalities in emotional response. It is progressive by nature and leads to negative manifestations of the individual and their loved ones.
Recovery from addiction needs external intervention with a customized combination of scientific treatments and engagement with support groups that offer elements of encouragement, acceptance, and hope in the comfort of positive peer interactions and outpatient treatment.
