Choose an addiction from the list to find out more.
Alcohol is legal and easy to get hold of, but it’s still addictive. Many people drink to cope, yet drinking too much usually makes things harder.
Over time it can lead to liver damage, high blood pressure, sexual problems, depression, memory loss and many other health problems.
Benzodiazepines are often prescribed for anxiety, sleep problems and seizures. They have a calming effect on the brain, which is part of why they can be so hard to give up.
Stopping suddenly can be dangerous, so withdrawal needs to be managed carefully with expert support.
Cannabis, also called weed, hash or pot, is one of the most widely used drugs. THC, its main active ingredient, acts on the brain’s reward system, which is what makes it addictive.
It’s often seen as harmless, but it can cause anxiety and paranoia, and smoking it can harm your lungs and heart.
Cocaine gives an intense high that people often try to repeat by taking more. When it wears off, the crash can bring exhaustion and low mood.
Problems can start from the very first time it’s used. Professional help gives you the best chance of stopping for good.
Codeine is a painkiller with real medical uses, but it’s also highly addictive and can bring a sense of calm that people come to rely on.
Side effects can include high blood pressure, loss of appetite, confusion, nausea and constipation.
Gambling can start as a bit of fun, but for some people it becomes impossible to control. With betting and gaming apps on every phone, it’s available 24 hours a day.
It can lead to debt, secrecy, broken relationships, anxiety and low mood. Gambling addiction can be treated much like a drug or alcohol addiction, and we can help you take back control.
Opiates act on the brain’s pleasure and pain-relief systems to create feelings of euphoria. Heroin is one of the most dangerous.
Side effects include light-headedness, sweating and breathing problems. Tolerance builds quickly, which makes overdose a real risk, and withdrawal can be serious. We use a range of therapies to help you get your life back on track.
Ketamine is an anaesthetic with real medical uses, but it’s also taken for its detached, out-of-body effects. Tolerance builds quickly, so people often find they need more and more to feel the same.
Regular use can cause serious bladder and kidney damage, stomach pain, memory problems, anxiety and low mood. If you’re worried about your ketamine use, we can help you stop safely.
Some medicines, including over-the-counter products that contain opiates, can lead to dependency. Needing more to get the same effect is often a sign of a problem.
A medicine being legal doesn’t mean it can’t be addictive. We can help you come off it safely.
