![]() Addiction is a medical condition described by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences. The two properties that characterize all addictive stimuli are that they are reinforcing. Addiction is the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is physically or psychologically habit forming, to the extent that cessation causes severe trauma. It consumes the addicts entire way of life to the point of hopelessness.
Substance AbuseUtah holds the eighth highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States. It’s this statistic that reminds us that the disease of addiction hits closer to home than most may think. Most importantly, it serves as a gentle reminder to those affected by the condition that seeking help is key to saving an addict’s life. When left to escalate, it’s the unfortunate truth that a battle with substance abuse often leads to the demise of its victim. The fight may seem self-manageable at first, but professional help is always the most effective course of action in bringing the disease’s progression to a halt. Should you or a loved one begin to show the first signs of addiction, seeking immediate help is critical. If you or a loved one needs help, call South Jordan Suboxone Recovery Center 24/7 at (801) 895-2950.
