Why do I need help?

Addiction is Cunning, baffling and powerful – that’s how many describe addiction, which is truly a horrific disease. It’s also progressive.

Once a person is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, the disease gets worse if the person remains in active addiction. A vicious cycle takes over – more and more of the substance is required to get the same high. As more of the substance is consumed, the body’s physical and psychological need for the drug increases. If help is not seek, it will lead you to Jails, institutions or Death.
