Use disorder and/or addiction is an increasing problem
Ignoring it is not a solution!
Approximately two million people in The Netherlands struggle with some kind of a use disorder. That is one in every nine people! And the condition doesn’t discriminate, it occurs everywhere. Usually, feelings of guilt and shame play a part, which is why most people find it difficult to talk about, let alone that people dare to ask for help.
It is a progressive condition and that is why it is very important that help is sought and/or offered. Without external help, chances are considerable that the problems will increase, with all the consequences that go along with that.
It entails substances such as alcohol, cannabis, XTC or cocaine, but it also involves gaming or gambling. When feelings of insecurity, loneliness or stress increase than the risk also increases that people will reach for certain (destructive) habits. Sometimes the destructive behavior becomes so serious that it becomes compulsive. No one chooses to become addicted.
