Addiction and alcoholism are recognised by the leading scientists in the US as chronic, relapsing diseases of the brain, causing compulsive using behaviour and loss of control over intake, despite harmful long-term consequences.
What if everything you thought you knew about addiction was wrong? In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', SafeHouse Rehab Thailand dives deep into the complex nature of addiction and alcoholism. It’s not about weak willpower or moral failings; addiction is a chronic brain disease that strips away the power of choice, leading to compulsive behavior and a loss of control over substance use.
This episode tackles head-on the misconceptions that keep many from seeking help, offering a compassionate and informed perspective on what addiction truly is. You'll hear about the scientific recognition of addiction as a brain disease, and why 'just saying no' is an unrealistic expectation for those affected. The discussion also touches on the importance of treatment and long-term recovery strategies, emphasizing that success in overcoming addiction often depends on what happens after leaving a treatment program.
Families play a crucial role in this journey, and understanding the nature of addiction can help them provide the right support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand addiction beyond the surface-level myths and find real hope for recovery.
