There is an old saying: "If alcohol is causing a problem then perhaps it is the problem". When we speak about addiction, we are referring to persons whose lives have been affected negatively by drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, food, etc... We will assess whether a person has a problem with mood-altering. We use the SASSI Assessment tool to determine the high or low probability of dependence on mood-altering substances.
The ADDICT does not want to feel whatever it is he/she is feeling. Instead, he/she prefers to mask or alter his or her feelings.
If ADDICTION is a problem for you, we can help.
You can also call your local addictions center.
