Today’s highlight is the cycle of addiction. I especially like this diagram because it summarizes the negative motivations to seek those artificial cues for rewards such as indulging in substances for a temporary relief of misery. Once the exaggerated rush of dopamine ends (euphoria), the individual then goes back to finding those cues for artificial rewards to help them feel good of themselves, thus, this learned behavior of addiction cycles.
If you are suffering from any forms of addiction, here in Generations, we combine a comprehensive treatment to help you break the addiction cycle. Give us a call for a free consultation - 630. 259. 1515. ☺️
