This paper is a review of literature that focuses on addiction as a disease or brain disorder rather than a behavioral problem and its link to obsessive compulsive disorder. Numerous people substitute addictions as they are recovering from substance dependence. An addiction is defined dependence on or commitment to a habit, practice, or habit-forming substance to the extent that its cessation causes trauma. Regardless of the devastating consequences of addiction there is a pervasive pattern of an obsessive thought process and compulsive behavior that overpowers the thility to sustain a lifestyle of moderation. Furthermore, as a result of the substance addiction, there is a tendency to make unwise decisions when actively participating in certain behaviors that an lead to a substitute addiction. Addictions can include but are not limited to drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping and work. As a result of this study, this writer learned that addiction and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are brain disorders which are linked in the way the brain unctions and some chemical imbalances in the brain of individuals with OCD or Addiction. The findings of the literature review do not conclusively link obsessive compulsive disorder as a contributing factor to individuals with addiction but shows similarities within the brain and certain behaviors. Additionally, the potential implications of these findings for social work policies and wactices may be to further investigate the similarities of addiction and OCD; and also to consider using evidence-based treatment methods already used to minimize symptoms in OCD patients as alternative treatments for individuals who display chronic addictive behaviors.
