Drug addiction A problem that affects us.

What is drug addiction?

Drug addiction is a chronic disease that is characterized by the search and compulsive or uncontrollable consumption of the drug despite the harmful consequences and the changes it causes in the brain, which can be long-lasting. These changes in the brain can generate harmful behaviors that are observed in people who take drugs. Drug addiction is also a disease with relapses. Relapse occurs when a person returns to drugs after trying to quit. The silhouette of a man standing in a dark tunnel. The road to drug addiction begins with the voluntary act of using drugs. But over time a person's ability to decide not to use drugs weakens. The search and consumption of the drug become compulsive. This is largely due to the effects of long-term exposure to the drug on brain function. Addiction affects areas of the brain that participate in motivation and reward, learning, memory and behavior control. Addiction is a disease that affects both the brain and behavior. Can drug addiction be treated? Yes, but it is not simple. Because addiction is a chronic disease, a person can not simply stop using drugs for a few days and heal. Most patients need long-term or repeated care to be able to completely stop drugs and get their life back. The treatment of addiction can help a person to: stop using drugs stay away from drugs be productive in the family, work and society.
