If you or someone you know has an addiction, we can help you find help.
Support for addictions
Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you.
Common addictions include alcohol, drugs, smoking and gambling. But screentime or gaming or shopping or even work, can become an addiction. Addiction affects the brain and behaviour, making it hard to break a harmful cycle.
Addiction can affect anyone at any age and can be caused by all sorts of reasons including difficult life events, high stress levels and exposure to trauma.
If you or someone you care for is showing signs of addiction, getting help from specialist organisations can be the first step in moving forwards.
