American Addiction Centers (AAC) understands that addiction—no matter if it involves alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription drugs or over-the-counter drugs—is a disease.
AAC also recognizes addiction as a condition that deserves a holistic approach; one focused on treating the individual as a whole rather than simply focusing on the symptoms and behaviors.
That is why American Addiction Centers offers patients comprehensive addiction treatment—options that address not only the addiction itself, but also the patient’s unique physical, social, spiritual and mental health needs throughout the treatment process.
Signs of Addiction
Some of the common symptoms of addiction, per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), include:
- Use of the substance more than intended.
- Cravings to use.
- Unsuccessful attempts to control, decrease or halt substance use.
- Need to increase use to achieve the same level of effect.
- Recurrent substance use in dangerous situations.
