Physical vs. Psychological Addiction.

It seems simple, but it makes all the difference when it comes to fighting and beating a drug addiction.  When a person does not have a physical dependence to a particular drug, but rather a mental desire to do it repeatedly the habit is psychological.  It is the most common and can occur with virtually any substance.

Physical addiction, on the other hand, is caused by the chronic use of a drug (or drugs) building up a tolerance.  Withdrawal from those drugs results in very unpleasant side-effects such as flu-like-symptoms, fatigue, depression, excessive anxiety, and the desire to sleep most of the time.  In short it inhibits one’s ability to function normally.

When you recognize physical addiction in yourself or a loved one it may be time to get away.  I mean way far away to a place that will help you fight for your life.  That place may well be Florida addiction treatment center Blu By the Sea.  Call us to arrange a visit to this extraordinary facility on the Gulf of Mexico at (850) 424-3252.
