Did you know people who have addictions are more likely to develop medical conditions such as cancers, strokes, lung disease and mental health problems. The two main substance addictions are drugs and alcohol. Other addictions include gambling, food, video games and work.
Seeking help when you develop an addiction is very important because it can cause a lot of physical and mental health issues for you and the people around you. Ignoring the addiction only makes it harder to deal with. Contacting your doctor or local rehab centre is the best way to deal with it and get the support you need.

“ Addiction is a family disease. One person may use but the whole family suffers”
