ADDICTIONS
Drake WorkWise has extensive experience and success in helping people deal with the personal and social impacts of addiction. Our psychologists receive specialised training in many different areas of addiction including drug and alcohol addiction, gambling and smoking.
Addictive or compulsive behavior can be defined as the dependence on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs). While there are many forms of addiction all of which can create unique problems or symptoms, some general consequences can include:

- Terminal or chronic long term illness
- Reduction in brain function

- Loss of stability
- Unemployment

- Overdose and possible death
The implications of addiction in the workplace can be very serious including reduced safety for yourself and others, lost productivity, impaired performance and, increased conflict in relationships.
