  <h2 class="contentTitle">Research-Backed Support and Treatment</h2>
  <div class="blockInnerContent" ><p>It has been proven scientifically that changes in the brain occur physically when a person is experiencing any form of addiction. With help from an online therapist, treatment, and recovery, those physical changes can be corrected or redirected to create a healthier life, free of addiction. However, it’s not to say that working through addiction is a fast or easy process, it takes work and support. That’s why our online addiction therapy treatment is designed to provide you with the support and tools you need to conquer your addiction and reach your goals.</p><p>The American Society of Addiction Medicine, or ASAM, has a very complex definition of addiction: “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory, and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social, and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.” To summarize this definition, addiction causes physical changes in the brain of a person with addiction. These changes then cause disruptions in that person’s decision making and thought processes.</p></div>

  <h2 class="contentTitle">Time and Patience</h2>
  <div class="blockInnerContent" ><p>Addiction very rarely develops overnight and many times, the addiction forms as a way to mask the hurt from past experiences or trauma in the addicted person’s life. Other causes for addiction can include difficulties with processing or experiencing negative emotions from past events or present day life. While these are some prevalent contributing factors, there are many reasons why people may develop addictions and those reasons can be complex. Over time, a person can become physically and emotionally dependent on a substance or behavior.</p></div>
