miraworx definition of addiction

Addiction is a complex disease.

Addiction is not:

  • A moral issue
  • A simple character defect, such as being weak, or selfish, or irresponsible
  • A lack of will power

Physiological, genetic, psychosocial, nutritional and environmental factors are often thought to lead to the development of this disorder, and need to be addressed in recovery. It causes a person to act in a pattern of unhealthy, compulsive behavior which they carry out uncontrollably around the chronic use of a certain substance or stimulus such as alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling or cigarettes.

It almost always features a level of psychological dependence, and often physical dependence as well. In general, an addict:

  • Suffers a persistent need to use
  • Fails at every effort to cut down, or stop, using on his own
  • Keeps using despite negative experiences and dangerous situations
  • Uses to cope with everyday life
  • Needs to use to feel "normal"
  • Is often preoccupied with obtaining and using the drug(s) of choice

 

 Every addict exhibits behavior similar to this. However, the specific signs and symptoms for each addiction differ. The MTP systems target the specific dependency or addiction with the singular goal of SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY. Our extremely high success rate is attributed to our approach, the three R's:

  • Relief of withdrawal symptoms,
  • Return of Cognitive Function and,
  • Restoration of Health

No matter what level of dependence or addiction you might have, the MTP is the right system for you.
