Drug addiction
Drug addiction means the continued and habitual use of a drug or substance (whether prescribed by their GP or from the ‘black market’) that is difficult to give up because the body and its processes have come to depend on the drug. In this case, the sufferer will have a constant preoccupation with obtaining the drug and in acute cases, this can lead to anti-social behaviour and illegal activities.
The term drug addiction also applies when the sufferer progressively needs more of the drug to obtain the same effect, and they experience physical and/or cognitive withdrawal symptoms when the drug is not available.
