The Continuum of Addictive Behaviors
This activity is designed for you to explore the continuum of an addictive behavior of your choice.
Addictive behavior appears in stages. The earliest stage is non-use, which finally leads up to out-of-control dependence. The stages in between are important to identify, as it is much easier to correct an early-stage issue as opposed to a late-stage problem.
Use alcohol or substance abuse addiction as an example to identify the various levels of addiction.
You may choose to develop a time line identifying the stages or develop a written essay (no more than 500 words in Word format) to describe the escalation of addictive behaviors.
You are to include at least two references from academic sources that you have researched on this topic in the Excelsior College Library and use appropriate citations in American Psychological Association (APA) style.
You cannot just do a Google search for the topic! Academic sources are required. You may use Google Scholar or other libraries
