Much as we resist the thought as anathema to our way of thinking, addiction is a complex brain disorder and a mental illness as defined by the best science of the day.
Ever wondered if addiction could lead to brain damage? This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' takes a hard look at the grim reality. Host Bruno Jay discusses how addiction isn't just a bad habit but a complex brain disorder and mental illness, as defined by modern science. The tragic story of Aaron Hernandez, an NFL superstar whose life spiraled out of control due to substance abuse, serves as a poignant example.
His repetitive drug use and excessive drinking led to severe brain damage, resulting in paranoia and extreme violence. But it's not all doom and gloom. SafeHouse Rehab is pioneering new technologies to help restore brain health in those affected by addiction. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, proper diet, exercise, and mindfulness meditation, they aim to create new neural pathways and reverse much of the damage.
This episode offers families crucial insights into the nature of addiction and its impact on the brain, providing a glimmer of hope for recovery. Tune in to understand more about how SafeHouse Rehab is making strides in busting myths around addiction and offering tangible solutions for healing.
