Addiction Rehab Help

In an effort to conquer the problem of excessive weight gain many people turn to Gastric Bypass Surgery. Although this is an effective weight loss tool it does nothing to help the individual deal with any emotional issues. In many cases weight gain is caused by health issues, drugs or simply a lack of exercise, but somtimes it is caused by emotional turmoil and poor coping skills. After surgery the person is unable to turn to food as a form of comfort, so they will often turn to other harmful and self destructive behaviors and sometimes drug and alcohol addictions. In fact many experts suggest that food addiction is rarely about food and eating, but is a copeing mechanism for managing painfull feelings.

 Without an effective coping mechanism and support system in place before the surgery many people end up turning to drug and alcohol addictions in order to deal with stress, frustration, boredom or even managing their emotions. Addiction Transfer ends up being the answer for many, trading one addiction for another. The compulsive tendencies that have lead to the eating disorder can turn into a shopping addiction, compulsive gambling, compulsive spending these are call a process adiction or drug and alcohol addiction.
