At DeNovo Recovery, we know addiction doesn’t happen overnight. It develops in stages, and recognizing them can be the key to getting help early. Our residential treatment center provides support at every step, guiding individuals toward recovery.
1. Initial Use
It starts with trying a substance—out of curiosity, peer pressure, or stress relief. Some stop after one use, but for others, it leads to more frequent consumption.
2. Regular Use
Substance use becomes routine, often blending into daily life. At this stage, many believe they have control, but dependence starts forming beneath the surface.
3. Risky Use
The negative effects begin to show—risky behavior, missed responsibilities, and potential legal trouble. Despite consequences, use continues.
4. Dependence
The body adapts, needing more of the substance to feel the same effect. Without it, withdrawal symptoms set in. Personal and professional life take a backseat.
5. Addiction (Substance Use Disorder)
At this stage, substance use is no longer a choice—it’s a compulsion. The urge to use remains strong, even when it destroys health, relationships, and stability. This is when professional help is critical.
At DeNovo Recovery, we help individuals at any stage of addiction with evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT. You don’t have to face this alone—our team is here to help.
