Addiction covers compulsive behaviours such as alcoholism, substance misuse, compulsive sexual behaviour and gambling.
Two kinds of addiction
- Substance use: misuse of alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, cocaine, opioids or prescription sleeping pills.
- Behavioural addiction: compulsive actions that do not involve drugs, such as sex, gambling or internet gaming.
Getting support
Tredela CMRC runs addiction groups — for alcohol, substance use, gambling and more — where people meet at the same day and time to share their experiences and support each other in their healing journey, guided by specialised counsellors.
