Private Addiction Counselling.
Private Addiction Counselling.
Are you prepared to liberate yourself from addiction permanently? It is common to experience feelings of entrapment; however, you have the capability to change your patterns. You are certainly not alone in this journey; understanding the underlying science can significantly empower you.
Research indicates that disruptions in critical brain regions—the basal ganglia, the extended amygdala, and the prefrontal cortex—are pivotal in the context of substance use disorders. Acknowledging these elements is a crucial initial step toward regaining autonomy and transforming your life. Together, we can leverage this understanding to help you realize your aspirations.
Our private addiction counselling services will assist you in understanding the reasons behind your behaviors and in adopting strategies to change them. Addiction can manifest in various forms, with alcohol dependence being a significant concern in New Zealand.
Additionally, there has been a notable increase in internet and social media addiction in recent years, leading to an overwhelming connection to the digital realm. Our private addiction counselling addresses issues such as alcohol, social media, internet use, shopping, and drug addiction.

What Causes Addiction?
Physical addiction appears to occur when repeated use of a drug changes the way your brain feels pleasure. The addicting drug causes physical changes to some nerve cells (neurons) in your brain. Neurons use chemicals called neurotransmitters to communicate. These changes can remain long after you stop using the drug.
Yes, addiction is a disease — it’s a chronic condition. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) defines addiction as a chronic brain disorder. Addiction doesn’t happen from having a lack of willpower or as a result of making bad decisions. Your brain chemistry changes with addiction.
