Addiction
Substance and behavioural addictions can affect physical health, relationships and safety. Evidence-based medical and psychological care is central to recovery.
Discuss your symptoms
Understanding the problem
Start with the right assessment.
What to discuss at your assessment
- Substance or behaviour of concern and its effect on daily life
- Current medical or counselling support
- Any previous withdrawal problems to discuss with a qualified clinician
Different conditions can produce similar symptoms. We review your history, medical reports, triggers, movement or daily-function limits before deciding whether our supportive approach is suitable.
When to seek urgent care
If you may harm yourself or someone else, are severely confused, withdrawing dangerously or feel unable to stay safe, contact emergency services and a trusted person now.
