Addiction is a severe illness that can devastate lives and lead to early death. It is caused by chemical changes in the brain that make it difficult for someone to control their behavior, even when they understand the consequences. Common substances of addiction include alcohol, marijuana, opioids, and other drugs.
Persistent misuse of substances not only causes physical harm but also can cause severe mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. As the addiction intensifies, it can take over all aspects of life and wreak havoc.
Symptoms
Symptoms of Addiction
Recognizing the symptoms of addiction is a critical part of early intervention and treatment. These symptoms can vary depending on the type of substance used and the individual’s personal circumstances. However, some common signs of addiction include:
- Increased tolerance and need for larger amounts of substances to achieve the desired effect
- Persistent desire or unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control substance use
- Spending a great deal of time obtaining, using, or recovering from the effects of substances
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to substance use
- Continuing substance use despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem caused or exacerbated by the substance
- Withdrawal symptoms when substance use is abruptly discontinued
These are just some of the potential signs of addiction. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, reach out to Bridge of Hope Mental Health Services. We’re here to help guide you through recovery and create an individualized treatment plan that best meets your needs.

Addiction Treatment
Our Approach to Addiction Treatment
At Bridge of Hope, our primary method for treating addiction is Medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT combines behavioral therapy and medications to treat substance use disorders. Generally, this form of treatment includes medications like buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal and naltrexone for alcohol withdrawal. These medicines mimic the effects of addictive drugs without inducing a high. They also curb cravings by satisfying the brain’s demands and reducing the urge to use again.
MAT is used in combination with other therapies like psychological counseling, medical support, educational guidance, and vocational assistance. This comprehensive approach provides individuals with the best chance of success when overcoming addiction.
