The new year can be a time of renewal and for some the ideal time to deal with addiction disorders. Many people make resolutions, but dealing with this brain disease is not simply a matter of deciding not to use. Substance misuse, abuse and dependence can be challenging to treat and overcome and long-term recovery from addiction requires treatment by professionals.
