Organisations such as the PROMIS Recovery Centre & the Betty Ford Clinic in the US are now well-known names in the treatment of every form of addiction, & while the attempts by celebrities such as Pete Doherty, Russell Brand & Elton John to kick their addictive habits have all made the headlines, they have also made us more aware of the prevalence of addiction in modern life. Addicts do not only abuse alcohol & drugs, they can find themselves hooked to a variety of substances & activities ranging from exercise & food to gambling & sex.
