Addiction health group
Our Addiction Support Group Initiative
We have a large team of experts and support members here at the Addiction Health Service. We like to call them our addiction angels. Our aim is to marry our experienced individuals with the very people that need it. That’s why we’re creating our new membership club. Our club will allow anybody, from any walk of life to get the support that they need in order to beat addiction. The best part – it’s all totally online so we’re able to help any person, from any part of the UK, or even further afield.

Addiction support from the comfort of your own Home
If you are unsure whether you yourself are addicted or if you think a friend or family member may be addicted few signs and symptoms of addiction are as follows, take a look and if these are applicable to yourself, a friend or family member contact us for help and advice:
- Feeling the need to take the drug or carry out the behaviour to deal with problems.
- An obsession with a substance or behaviour, spending more time and energy finding ways of getting that high.
- An individual with an addiction may take risks to obtain the substance or engage in the behaviour.
- A person with substance dependence might give up some activities that previously brought them joy. For example, a person with nicotine dependence may decide not to meet up with friends if they plan to go to a smoke-free pub or restaurant.
- With either addiction type, the individual may become secretive and seek solitude in order to partake in the activity or drug without facing the judgment of peers.
- “I can quit anytime I want to” the individual, more often than not, could be in denial of the extent of their problem.
- Excess abuse and consumption leading to severe health issues, which may even lead to an overdose.
- Lacking emotional responses to anything but the substance or activity, leading to isolation from peers and family. Or in some cases extreme emotional responses (i.e anger) when confronted about the problem, also leading to isolation.
