Addiction Counselling

Addiction is defined as the inability to cease using substances or engaging in a behaviour that, with continuous use, can cause psychological and physical harm. Commonly, addiction is associated with substance use such as alcohol and drug use. However, addiction can also be described through excessive behaviour such as gambling, eating, sex, and pornography consumption.
