4 C’s of addiction (video)

During difficult times, some people may turn to alcohol and other drugs to help cope. In this video, Serene Carruthers, a licensed marriage and family therapist and manager of Sharp McDonald Center, describes the four C’s of addiction:

• Compulsion

• Control

• Consequences

Recognizing any of these behaviors in your or a loved one’s relationship with alcohol or other substances can be a sign of addiction.
