Understanding the Cycle of Addiction

The cycle of addiction often runs in families. In some cases, it’s passed down from one generation to the next. Children grow up with addicted parents, so they also become addicted because it’s what they know. Then they bring that cycle around again with their children. Some people also have a cycle of addiction where they get clean for a while only to relapse and then repeat the same pattern. No matter which cycle of addiction you’re stuck in, Bayview Recovery can help you break it and get free of its hold on you and your life. You can have a future that’s not full of addiction and struggle, and a life that’s clean and sober with a strong and long-lasting recovery. We can help you get there, so you can focus on the things that matter most to you. To learn more about your treatment options, contact Bayview Recovery today at 855.478.3650.

You Can Break the Cycle of Addiction

In many cases, addiction involves a continuous pattern, which is challenging to break on your own. The initial step is that there is an emotional event that triggers your drug or alcohol use. In some cases, this is a mental health condition, while in others, there is some traumatic event. That emotional trigger leads to you craving the substance.

Once you’ve developed cravings, you will begin to establish rituals surrounding your drug or alcohol use. Perhaps this means you’ll purchase the drugs or alcohol or go to a specific place to use the substance. Most of the time, you will follow these rituals by actually using the substance. Once you’ve used the drug or alcohol, you will usually start feeling ashamed or guilty. These feelings may now act as the emotional event that triggers your next cycle of addiction.

If you feel trapped in this cycle, you can break it. The next time you find yourself craving drugs or alcohol or start feeling guilty about your substance use, reach out for help. With an addiction treatment program at Bayview Recovery, we can help you break the cycle.
