Addiction counselling
Caritas answers frequently asked questions on the subject of addiction on their website in German, and Arabic:
"Addiction is understood as the compulsive desire for certain substances or behaviours that temporarily alleviate discomfort and trigger desired sensations. The substances or behaviours are consumed or maintained, although they have negative consequences for the person concerned and for others".
If you think you have an addiction, you can get help. Addiction to drugs, narcotics, games, for example, are among them. You can get professional help from psychologists or psychotherapists, but also from specialists in addiction counselling centres. Counselling is usually free of charge.
