How Much Do You Know About Addiction?

Explore these key insights into addiction and recovery, grounded in current psychological and behavioural science. This bonus material is designed to educate, raise awareness, and provide a foundation for meaningful change.

  • 1. Addiction Is a Brain-Based Disorder

    Substance use alters the brain’s reward, motivation, and decision-making systems—especially affecting dopamine regulation. Addiction is not simply a matter of willpower; it's a complex, chronic condition that requires structured support and intervention.

  • 2. Recovery Requires More Than Abstinence

    Stopping substance use is only one part of the process. True recovery involves addressing underlying trauma, mental health issues, relationship patterns, and lifestyle habits. It’s a holistic journey of rebuilding identity, self-worth, and emotional stability.

  • 3. Triggers and Cravings Are Normal—but Manageable

    Triggers don’t disappear—they’re managed through awareness, coping strategies, and repetition. Understanding your personal risk factors and developing relapse prevention tools is key to maintaining long-term change.
