Addiction is not a lack of willpower but a disruption of executive functioning in the brain. Chronic substance use weakens impulse control, decision-making, and emotional regulation, increasing relapse risk. At Collective Care Center, Pune, recovery is approached through addiction treatment for alcohol and drugs, dual diagnosis care, trauma-informed rehab programs, psychiatric support, 12-step recovery, and holistic practices like yoga and meditation to rebuild brain function

Unresolved trauma reshapes memory, emotions, and the brain’s survival system, often driving substance use as a way to escape distress. Triggers can reactivate past pain, increasing cravings and relapse risk. At Collective Care Center, Pune, recovery focuses on healing trauma through personalised rehab plans, evidence-based therapies, and meditation-based approaches—supporting long-term sobriety with expert mental health care.

Addiction alters dopamine pathways, making cravings and relapse brain-driven processes rather than failures of willpower. This blog explains how alcohol and drugs hijack motivation and emotional regulation. At Collective Care, addiction recovery for alcohol and drugs is integrated with treatment for anxiety, depression, and substance use through dual diagnosis care and holistic rehabilitation with yoga and meditation, supporting long-term brain healing and relapse prevention.

Addiction alters the brain’s reward system by flooding it with dopamine, reducing natural pleasure and weakening decision-making. Over time, substances replace healthy rewards, driving compulsive use. At Collective Care Center, Pune, certified counsellors and clinical psychologists use evidence-based therapy and personalised rehab plans to heal the brain, address mental health challenges, and support long-term recovery.
