Abstract

An addiction is a complex mental condition with multiple factors involved in its development and maintenance. Considered as one of the most devastating illness, it has the potential to ruin everything from the person’s health, relationships to his achievements and life plans. The family of the person is especially hit the worst and made to witness misery they don’t deserve. However, it is essential for the caregivers to differentiate between the person and the illness. Many reliable psychiatric and psychological treatment options are available today that can be sought for recovery and rehabilitation. Moreover, online services have made the access to initial treatment easier. Making a choice towards a fulfilling life instead of an unhealthy existence is crucial. The person’s motivation and will power, family and friends’ support and professional help can make it possible.
