Understanding Addiction and Recovery
Addiction and recovery are closely connected processes.

At Strengthened Heart Counseling, we guide clients through each stage of recovery, helping them achieve lasting change and resilience.
What Addiction Is
Addiction is a chronic condition that affects the brain’s reward, motivation, and memory systems, often leading to compulsive engagement in behaviors or substance use despite negative consequences. It can develop gradually and impact multiple areas of life including work, school, and relationships. Addiction is more than a lack of willpower and involves both biological and environmental factors that make quitting challenging without support.
Addiction can also create emotional and physical consequences such as increased stress, anxiety, fatigue, or feelings of guilt and shame. Without intervention, these effects can worsen over time and lead to further health or social difficulties.
