Addiction is a chronic condition that affects the brain, behavior, and overall well-being. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, tobacco, or prescription medications, addiction can take a heavy toll on an individual’s physical health, mental stability, relationships, and personal goals. De-addiction is the process of breaking free from this dependence and beginning the journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Recognizing the problem and seeking help is the first and most courageous step toward recovery.
