What is addiction

Explanation

Addiction is a psychological attachment to certain effects such as euphorbia and a temporary feeling of well-being associated with drugs and alcohols.
It starts with the prolonged and unnecessary use of drug abuse.
These drive people to take them without need or even when it becomes self-destructive. The disorders occurring as result of drug overuse are called addictive disorders.
(i) With repeated uses, the tolerance level increases.
(ii) Consequently, receptors respond only to higher doses leading to greater intake and addiction.
(iii) In the absence of any guidance or counselling, the person gets addicted and becomes dependent on their use.
