Overcome process & behavioural addiction with our leading Behavioural treatment rehab programs
The fact that millions of people throughout the world are addicted to substances is well-known. But what’s less known is that even more individuals suffer with process addiction, otherwise known as behavioural addiction. Unfortunately, many people still believe that a substance addiction disorder has less impact on a person’s life than behavioural addiction, but that simply isn’t the case. If neglected, a process addiction can worsen to the point of harming a person’s finances, relationships and career. However, any addiction – no matter how challenging it may seem – can be overcome with the help of a behavioural addiction rehab.

Our range of treatment programs have helped thousands retake control of their lives and put a full stop to their addiction.

Call us, and we’ll explain why we’re considered a leading treatment centre in Thailand.
What is a process addiction? They come in many shapes and forms. In the not so distant past, people characterised addictions as physical dependencies that resulted in physical withdrawal symptoms. For example, only certain drugs alongside alcohol were considered to be addictive for a long time. The unfortunate truth is that process addiction is very real, affecting countless number of people. The question is: what is a behavioural addiction?
In basic terms, a behavioural or process addiction affects people who impulsively engage in a behaviour or activity without being able to prevent themselves, despite being aware of the potential negative consequences. Gambling, sex, the internet, shopping and eating can all be process addictions. Often, behavioural addiction can lead to mental and physical health problems, in addition to financial and relationship issues.
For a long time, even experts disputed the validity of process addiction being a real disease. Now, it’s widely accepted that behavioural addiction is not just a real disease, but it also affects millions. Fortunately, it can be prevented and treated. If you know somebody who is suffering with an addiction disorder, we encourage you to get in touch for advice.
As mentioned above – process addiction affects each sufferer in a unique way. Different types of behavioural addictions can all lead to problems, but consequences including financial losses, strained relationships and career problems are common.
Process Addiction examples include:
As you can see from above, answering the question of what is behavioural addiction can be tricky; not many people realise they can develop codependency disorders or internet addictions. However, such disorders are on the rise, especially as people are spending more time on the internet and changing the way in which they live their daily lives. Because there are so many types of behavioural addictions, it’s important to know the signs so that you can get help for yourself or somebody you know sooner rather than later.
Process addiction is still widely misunderstood – it’s only been a recognised genuine health issue by many of the world’s leading bodies in healthcare for the past decade or so. As a result, recognising the symptoms of behavioural addiction isn’t always straightforward, especially given that sufferers are often good at hiding their habits. Plus, behavioural addiction, as you can see from above, comes in many forms. And, everybody needs to go shopping from time to time, and gambling – if done responsibly – isn’t necessarily a problem. So, what signs can you look out for that suggest somebody might require help from a process addiction rehab? Common symptoms of behavioural addiction include:
If you or somebody you know is experiencing any of the symptoms detailed above, you should get them help as fast as possible. Remember that you should approach people with kindness rather than anger, try to open a dialogue and be as supportive as possible. Call our process addiction rehab if you need help approaching a loved one suffering with an addiction disorder. We’ll let you know how to reach out to them so that you can get them back to a healthy and happy lifestyle.
There has long been a dispute with regards to behavioural addiction vs substance addiction, largely focused on whether behavioural addiction is a real disorder. However, now, most of the scientific and therapeutic communities have determined that there is little difference between process addiction and substance addiction.
Sufferers of substance addiction may exhibit physical symptoms not often seen in those suffering with a process addiction disorder. However, the consequences of any addiction left untreated can end up being very similar.
The primary difference between behavioural addiction and substance addiction is that those with a substance addiction become dependent on the feeling the drug provides whereas those with a behavioural addiction become dependent on the feeling a behavior or activity provides.
