Root Causes

Understanding Causes of Addiction

Addiction involves brain reward pathways plus stress, trauma and environment.

Physical Causes

Tolerance & Withdrawal

The body adapts, so more is needed and stopping feels physically hard.

Sleep & Health Impact

Broken sleep and medical complications keep the cycle unstable.

Psychological Factors

Stress and Trauma

Substances or behaviors become a fast way to numb overwhelm.

Co-Occurring Anxiety or Depression

Untreated mood issues often fuel relapse.
