Types of Addiction

Most experts recognize two types of addiction:

The first is Chemical addiction. This refers to addiction that involves the use of substances such as:

    • Alcohol
    • Tobacco/Nicotine
    • Opioids
    • Cannabis
    • Amphetamines
    • Cocaine
    • Methamphetamine
    • Hallucinogenic







The second is Behavioral addiction. This refers to addiction that involves compulsive behaviors. These are persistent, repeated behaviors that you carry out even if they don’t offer any real benefit.

    • Gambling
    • Sexual
    • Shopping
    • Video Gaming
    • Social Media
    • Extreme or Risky Sports or Behavior

Multiple addictions occur when someone has developed an addiction to more than one substance or behavioral addiction at the same time. In some cases, people can develop a third, fourth, or even fifth addiction.

Examples:

  • Alcohol addiction &  gambling addiction at the same time
  • Drug addiction & sex addiction at the same time
