Caffeine Addiction

Caffeine addiction has been discussed on shows as varied as Dr Oz and Oprah. While many people scoff at the subject of caffeine addiction they are ignoring the fact that caffeine is actually the most widely used (and abused) drug in this world. From coffee to energy drinks, caffeine is the legal stimulant of choice for most humans on the planet. People forget at times how many items contain caffeine until they decide to cut back. It is in chocolates, soft drinks, some teas, coffees, energy drinks, diet pills, etc.

Breaking a caffeine addiction causes painful withdrawal for the caffeine addict. Headaches are the most common complaint associated with breaking the cycle, but irritability, drowsiness, and change in appetite also go along with the withdrawal cycle.

For individuals who over-consumer, those with energy drink addictions for example, it might be wise to speak to a treatment specialist just to gain some perspective about how to withdraw comfortably from the drug. You are welcome to call our treatment center hotline and speak to a counselor about your caffeine addiction.
