Addiction transference is the act of applying active or pre-existing addictive behaviors to another substance or compulsive behavior. Once developed, whether by cross-substance relapse or in addition to another substance or behavior, it’s doubly hazardous and potentially lethal to your health.
That’s why addiction transference can be as much of a struggle as the substance dependency you battle. It can also be even more difficult to kick. Thus, it’s all the more vital to keep your guard up throughout recovery and beyond. Here is all about addiction transference causes, dangers, and ways to combat it.
How Does Addiction Transference Occur?
Addiction transference occurs for different reasons for different people. That’s because everybody’s struggle with dependency is unique with different behaviors and impulses. Jaywalker understands and expects this to be the case. That’s why our mental health and drug recovery specialists take a purely individualized approach to each person’s substance or behavioral struggle. Bearing that in mind, here are the most common causes of addiction transference.
Accidentally
The sad truth about anybody with preexisting addictive behaviors is those habits can unintentionally transfer to new mental health or substance with ease. For example, addictions can inflict mental health issues beyond your control as a result of brain damage or neuronic function imbalances. Or you can develop an addiction to a new substance and transfer the same harmful underlying behaviors to another drug habit.
Regardless of what substances and addiction transference you battle, Jaywalker can teach you how to stabilize what substances destabilize. These approaches involve close guidance and monitoring from a team of professionals dedicated to your rehab and sobriety. Jaywalker recovery experts are waiting to be your extended family to show you the joys and opportunities for a better and brighter future together.
Preexisting Mental Disorders
Co-occurring mental conditions can transfer those symptoms and behaviors to a coexisting or successively acquired substance dependency. This behavioral transfer from mental disorders to substances often occurs as an attempt to cope with the preexisting condition. However, unbeknownst to many, it only deepens and exacerbates mental health problems and can even cause additional mental disorders. If you’re using substances in an attempt to cope with mental health struggles, reach out to an understanding therapist today. They’ll equip you with the proper coping methods to help you manage the symptoms of your underlying mental health struggle.
Improper Addiction Habit Replacement
This means you can kick one addiction only to replace it with a new unhealthy habit. This is how second-nature addictive behaviors transfer from one addiction to the next. This occurs because the initial addictive behavior was not properly replaced with a proactive healthy habit.
Learning the proper tools to effectively replace the former habit with positive routines is intricate to any successful recovery. That’s why Jaywalker has individually engineered sessions centered around finding you new hobbies you thoroughly enjoy. Learn how enjoyable your recovery can be by finally doing the things substance abuse has hindered for so long.
Natural Impulses Of The Addictive Personality
Part of forming an addiction means you form habits and behaviors that make up an addictive personality. These traits often resort to substances as a coping mechanism or primary method of unhealthy venting. In turn, these impulses can take on a new addiction without warning if the underlying habits have not been dealt with properly. A dedicated professional will help you drive away the natural instincts of the addictive persona.
Unforeseen Life Occurrences And Depression
Sometimes life throws you a curveball and it can be hard to react to these unforeseen life occurrences. This can lead to feelings of dread and hopelessness that can, in turn, urge you to resort to addictive behaviors. Jaywalker recovery specialists teach you how to handle the strains of these unforeseen circumstances. This is achieved through meticulous coaching sessions designed for your individual struggles. Talk to one of our standby representatives now to get the tools you need to thrive in sobriety.
Is Addiction Transference Common?
Rest assured, you are not alone in your struggle with addiction and its commonly transferable behaviors. Recent health surveys concluded that over 21 million individuals over the age of 11 suffer from addiction transference.
Though common, this transference of addiction habits is more dangerous than the initial addiction for many reasons. The most obvious of which is the fact that, at this stage, many people either give up on themselves or in finding treatment. This behavior is often because the individual doesn’t believe they can truly recover. You can regain the confidence you lost and learn just how achievable sobriety is by reaching out now.
