Mental/Behavioral health care is especially helpful for this. It can find the underlying reasons that a person goes through the addiction and recovery cycle. Sometimes neurodivergence can tie into addiction; a professional can identify these traits and direct their care accordingly. There are also professionals that blend Islam into their care processes, but this is a very recent path of study as muslims practicing psych/therapy have found problems with the application of western care models in helping other muslims.

Whatever it is, it's not worth it. Remember this world with all the pleasures is temporary and most pleasures aren't making you really happy.

As @gilded hazel said try to find the reason for this addiction.
But also during the month of Ramadan shaytaan will be locked up, so the temptation coming from him will be gone making it easier to remove this addiction if you truly attempt

Don't wait for Ramadan lol
Bro @modern smelt whatever your addiction is, its probably something made up by your nafs or shaytaan. The more you follow the desires of your nafs the more unhappier you'll get. The richest people out there are still unhappy, they still seek for more cash more power, more more more.
Why?
Because your nafs will be never happy, there are no limits for him. However, our life and capacities are limited.
What to do?
Limited life but unlimited desires = Problem.
Islam offers a solution: Be patient and stick to Allah's rules and you will get unlimited life where you can really live your desires freely.
