Development of addictive behaviors in adolescents

The expansion of addictive behaviors in adolescence contains different phases. In the first stage, one has the ability to control appetitive motivational tendencies. However, they do not have the motivation to do so. Later on, once enough drug or alcohol-related problems emerged, individuals tend to have more encouragement to adjust appetitive desires. Nevertheless, in this circumstance, personal willingness and ability are hindered by two factors. There are more powerful appetitive stimulation and a weaker ability to balance this response desire. The shortcoming between these aspects are the essence of addictive behaviors in adolescents.

Therapy for addictions

addictions might give an individual a sense of power, confidence, endorsement, or other feelings that they might not attain in their real life. Psychotherapy is a way to help people distinguish rough feelings and distress factors to adapt and grow. People that have trouble with addictive behaviors are unlikely to regulate those actions by themselves unless someone leads them to work on addressing the root of their addictive behaviors, such as trauma, stress, anxiety, and so on. There are a lot of types of therapy that can help people address the additive behaviors which they want to alter. A person who has additive behavior would most likely have the biggest advantage from consulting with a therapist who is recognized by the medical institution or organization to be the expert in the particular area of addiction or compulsion in terms of potential causes.
