Assignment: Scholar Practitioner Project: Chemical and Behavioral Addictions
Many individuals who seek treatment for a chemical addiction may have an unidentified behavioral addiction as well, or it might be the other way around. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience chemical and behavioral cross-addictions, replacing one addiction with another. Some treatment approaches may be appropriate for both chemical and behavioral addictions, but some may not.
