What is addictive behavior?

Addictive behavior refers to a physical or psychological need to consume certain substances or engage in destructive activities. This includes substances such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, cocaine, heroin and cannabis, but also behaviors such as video games, compulsive shopping, or even excessive sports.

According to the WHO (World Health Organization),addictive behavior is characterized by three main elements:

Understanding the signs of addiction is the first step in taking control of your mental and physical health.

Forms of addiction: Chemical or behavioral?

Addictions fall into two broad categories: chemical and behavioral. Chemical addictions include alcoholism, heroin abuse, amphetamine addiction, ecstasy addiction, cocaine abuse, and methamphetamine addiction.

Behavioral addictions include technology addiction, gambling addiction, and sexual addiction.

Each form of addiction has a devastating impact on people's lives, but proper treatment can help overcome these disorders.

What causes addiction?

Addiction is a complex phenomenon influenced by several factors. The major causes of addiction include:

Other factors, such as the presence of drug-addicted parents, financial difficulties, or experiences of discrimination and violence, also increase the risk of developing an addiction, especially among young people.

By understanding these causes, we can better guide treatment and support those struggling with addiction.

Drug addiction: What are the dangers?

The use of drugs - whether alcohol, tobacco, cannabis or illegal substances - has devastating effects on the body and mind. The consequences vary from product to product, but all lead to rapid and sometimes irreversible deterioration of health.

Tobacco and alcohol: underestimated effects

Tobacco is responsible for cancers (lung, throat, bladder, etc.) and cardiovascular diseases.

Alcohol attacks the liver (cirrhosis),the nervous system (memory loss) and increases the risk of digestive cancers. It also promotes high blood pressure and mental illness (depression, anxiety).

Illegal drugs: immediate and long-term dangers

Cocaine, heroin, amphetamines or synthetic drugs cause:

Psychotropic drugs: a silent danger

Prescription antidepressants, anxiolytics, or opioids can also create severe addiction. If overdosed, they can lead to comas, respiratory depression and even death.

Fortunately, it is possible to free oneself from dependence! Thanks to medical and psychological support, thousands of people have returned to a healthy life.

In Istanbul, Turquie Santé offers personalized treatments to help people break free from the grip of drugs.

Are you or someone you know addicted? Act now before the consequences become irreversible.

Detoxification: the first step to recovery

Detoxification is the process of ridding the body of toxic substances. It is an essential phase for anyone who wants to be free of an addiction and return to a healthy life.

Withdrawal varies depending on the type of substance being used. For example, the abrupt cessation of alcohol consumption can provoke serious crises that require appropriate medical supervision. Depending on the intensity of the symptoms, specific treatments, such as antidepressants or other medications, may be adjusted to provide relief.

With proper supervision, detoxification does not necessarily mean suffering. Possible side effects include sweating, nausea, migraines, sleep disturbances or blurred vision, but a competent medical team manages these.

The goal of detoxification is not only to stop using, but also to help the patient regain physical and mental balance before embarking on long-term therapy. Professional care makes the process more comfortable and greatly increases the chances of success.

How do I help a drug addict?

Frequently asked questions

Generally, the doctor will order a hepatitis and HIV test. He may also require a urinalysis to determine what drug type has been taken.

Quite simply! All you have to do is contact them using a pseudonym or code to remain anonymous. This way, your data is 100% protected.

Drug addiction is classified into 4 levels: 

  • Recreational or festive drug use: It's the opposite of dependent drug use.
  • Risky use of psychoactive substances: Causes somatic and psycho-affective complications.
  • Abuse: Repetitive harmful use.
  • Dependence: Craving or loss of control over consumption.

Drug rehabilitation programs in Turkey usually last between 30 and 90 days. Some people may benefit from a short-term program of around one month, while others may require longer stays for deeper healing and support.

We take care of patients suffering from drug addiction at our partner treatment and rehabilitation centers in Istanbul, under the supervision of a medical and paramedical staff.

The life expectancy of a drug addict varies between 40 and 46 years. This depends on the type of drug consumed and the addiction level.
