Addiction is a complex disease that affects all areas of your life. It can happen to anyone at any age, but it's often easier to ignore the problem than face it head-on.

There are many ways to get help for addiction, including seeking treatment through an outpatient facility or intensive outpatient program, or attending support groups or counseling.

Live a happy, normal life: After treatment for drug abuse and alcoholism, many people worry about their future because they aren't sure how their lives will look now that drugs or alcohol aren't part of it anymore. It's important to remember that there's no one way to live a happy life — what matters most is that you find what works for you.
