D'Amore And Work Addiction

Because American culture places a high value on hard work and long hours have become the norm, work addiction is one of the more insidious mental health issues. Like any other addiction, work addiction is the inability to stop the behavior. It often stems from a compulsive need to achieve status and success or to escape emotional stress. Work addiction is often driven by job success and is common in people who desire perfection.

If you or a loved one are in a web of work addiction, you may not need the same level of treatment as someone with a drug addiction. However, severe workaholics may require an inpatient rehabilitation program like D’Amore Healthcare’s to manage the behavior.

What Is Work Addiction?

Though work addiction is similar in many ways to other types of addiction, such as chemical, gambling or shopping addictions, it differs drastically in that there is usually a much greater benefit to aspects of the individual’s social life, along with the obvious benefits to their occupational lives. It can also be difficult to differentiate work addiction from merely excessive or enthusiastic work. An individual’s relationship to work becomes problematic when work is done compulsively, often to avoid pressing matters in other aspects of an individual’s life. Work addiction is treatable because human beings were built for change and adaptation, especially in our warm residential environment.
