I don’t know why, but i hear that their are treatments for video game addictions and I also hear a lot about people who can’t stop are addicted…

So is it the same as having a drug addiction?

is drug addiction a choice

Starlight Bev asked:

What do I need to major in? Where are the best colleges for this? And the most important question of all, can you become a counselor if you have a criminal record (mainly with drugs). The thing is I want to help people, because I have been through drug addiction and everything else, so I know how to help people, I just need the certification…

conundrum asked:

I’m not a druggie, but my best friend from high school dropped out and he does heroin and cocaine. I just wondered if anyone else has any accounts of drug addiction. Were you ever addicted? If so what was it like? Or do you know anyone that is or was a user?

Lily_1981 asked:

My brother had drug problem for at least 10+ years. He used the heavy stuff like cocaine and other stuff I don’t even know of.
The doctor gave him medication to clean his system, and he has been sober for 2 years.
Is it possible for somebody to cure their heavy drug addiction problem in short 2 years? What’s the odd that my brother’s problem is cured?

help for drug addicts

JEN A asked:

I dated a guy for over 2 1/2 years whom had been battling addiction to drugs. We were in a long-distance relationship, so I was not aware of how seriously he was involved & the extent of his using. As far as I knew, he was receiving psychiatric treatment & counselling and participating in a methadone program. Apparently he had an entire “secret” life I knew nothing about. I can only imagine the things he might have been involved in.

drug addiction intervention

Chronic asked:

I am witing something freelance and just wondering if anyone can give me an addequite difference between drug abuse and drug addiction.

The definition of an addict is: 1. To cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on a habit-forming substance
2. To occupy (oneself) with or involve (oneself) in something habitually or compulsively

Definition of drug abuse: he use of illegal drugs or the inappropriate use of legal drugs. The repeated use of drugs to produce pleasure, to alleviate stress, or to alter or avoid reality (or all three).

The use of a drug for a purpose other than that for which it is normally prescribed or recommended.

the habitual misuse of a chemical substance

They are very similar definitions. Almost the same.

Why are people either classified as a drug abuser or a drug addict? Drug abusers don’t usually get the intese care an addict does. Remember, the definition for addic includes psychological addiction… not just physical.

alcohol drug addiction

Cat Woman asked:

I have a mental illness I don’t disclose to anyone. When I have worked and at the employment agency I went to, I am worried they thought I had an addiction. I had poor concentration, poor memory, and poor social skills but I did ok. Would it be that noticeable? I am very anti drug and always have been. Would you think I was on drugs?
