An Overview of Addiction and Taking the Path to Recovery
An addiction is a complex condition that is characterized by an excessiveness in terms of an activity and consumption, despite being aware of the consequences.

For individuals who suffer from addiction, they have an intense need to use a deleterious substance to the point that it causes damage to one’s well-being.
