Addiction Psychiatry & Behavioral Addictions Treatment in Jordan
Confidential, evidence-based addiction recovery with Dr. Aws Khasawneh – Consultant Psychiatrist in Amman & Irbid
Understanding Addiction
Addiction is not a moral failure—it is a medical and psychological condition that changes the brain’s reward and decision-making systems.
At Dr. Aws Khasawneh’s psychiatry clinics in Amman (Shmeisani) and Irbid (Wasfi Al-Tal Street), treatment focuses on restoring control, dignity, and health through a personalized, science-based plan.
Dr. Aws treats both substance addictions (such as alcohol, nicotine, and prescription medication) and behavioral addictions (including gaming, gambling, social-media, or internet dependence).
- Alcohol and drug misuse
- Prescription or pain-killer dependence
- Nicotine and vaping addiction
- Internet, gaming, and social-media overuse
- Gambling and shopping addiction
- Work or performance-related burnout
Every case is assessed individually to identify biological, psychological, and social factors driving the habit.
