Addiction Treatment Q & A

What is addiction?

Addiction is a complex condition involving compulsive engagement in behaviors or substances despite harmful consequences. It can affect the brain’s reward system, making it difficult to control urges even when they negatively impact your health, relationships, or career.

At Doran, the team treats a wide spectrum of addictions, including:

Substance use disorders (alcohol, prescription medications, recreational drugs)
Impulse control disorders (compulsive spending, risky behaviors)
Sex addiction and compulsive sexual behaviors
Media addiction (social media, streaming platforms)
Gambling addiction
Video game addiction

Addiction often stems from deeper emotional struggles, such as unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Doran provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore these root causes and rebuild balance.

Your recovery begins with a confidential assessment, during which you will discuss your experiences, goals, and challenges. Together, you and your therapist will create a personalized treatment plan focused on long-term healing and personal growth.
