Include Addictions information on your My EmpowHer page
Sub-Conditions
Addictions occur when someone relies on a substance or activity for normal functioning. These include obsessions, compulsions, and dependence on alcohol, drugs or gambling. Addictions are treatable, but sometimes getting help can be difficult, especially for women, due to social stigmas, fear, or guilt.
