Delve into what are known as non-substance addictions and learn how to manage them correctly with this program that TECH makes available to you"

In recent decades, substance addictions have been joined by addictions in which there is no substance that produces dependence, but rather a habit or behavior. This is the case of pathological gambling and addiction to new technologies, which are causing serious health problems in both adults and young people.
