 Drug Addictions Drug addictions involve a biochemical
dependence on a specific substance as a means for achieving a desired effect or
“high”. Due to tolerance, individuals require ever-increasing amounts of
that substance overtime in order to achieve the effect that they desire and to
keep symptoms of withdrawal at bay. Continuous drug use often leads to
very serious changes in an individual’s body chemistry. Such changes can  even occur to the point
that an individual’s body requires the drug in order to survive. |
