Nick Kemp - Treating Addictions and Addictive behavior
When people think of the term "addiction" they often think about this only in
terms of drug addictions. There are however a whole range of different types
of behavioral addictions, ranging from addictive patterns of thinking, to
substance dependences which can range from alcohol addictions and other
drug based addictions such as cannabis and cocaine. In all instances there
are usually two elements contained in the behavior, the physical addiction
and the habitual addiction associated with the behavior.
The habitual addiction manifests in the way in which the individual thinks,
feels and responds in exactly the same manner, usually in an entirely predictable
pattern. In 2007 I gave a talk to the staff members of the Leeds Community Drug Treatment
Services and asked the 26 counselors present how many of their clients would respond in
exactly the same way during each weekly session, sitting the same way, asking the same
questions with the exact same use of language and same tonality. Many clients were convinced
that they have few if any choices in life and of course for many of them their world
revolved totally around their drug of choice.
