Addiction affects people of all ages and walks of life, and it is reported that \u201c1 in 10 Canadians 15 years of age and over report symptoms consistent with alcohol or illicit drug dependence\u201d (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, 2011). Addiction can occur to alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, sex, and other rewarding behaviors.<\/p>\n

People, once addicted, mistakenly believe that they can use alcohol and other drugs without harming themselves or other people. Those with an addiction also believe that they can stop using their drug or behavior of choice any time they want.<\/p>\n

Recovery from addiction is a life-long process, and begins when the person reaches a point at which they decide they can no longer live the way they have been.<\/p>\n

Since many people who suffer from addiction are often addicted to more than one substance or behavior, proper assessment for multiple addictions is necessary. The interaction of these addictions can have a significant effect on treatment and recovery.<\/p>\n
