Understanding addiction

Understanding Substance Abuse

Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, involves the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs. This behavior often leads to addiction, a complex disease characterized by compulsive substance use despite harmful consequences. Addiction can cause long-lasting changes in the brain, leading to harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. The condition can stem from various factors, including genetic vulnerability, environmental stressors, social pressures, and psychological factors.

At NJ Recovery Solutions, our treatment philosophy is built on the foundation of hope, integrity, and relentless support. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the addiction, by addressing the underlying causes of substance abuse. Our approach is holistic, integrating physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being into our treatment plans. We aim to empower our clients, giving them the tools they need for a sustainable recovery and a brighter future.
