What is Addiction?

Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite negative consequences. It is estimated that addiction affects over 20 million Americans.

Addiction is caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors. Some people are more likely to develop addiction than others, but anyone can become addicted to drugs or alcohol.

The symptoms of addiction can vary depending on the substance being abused, but they often include:

• Compulsive drug seeking and use
• Tolerance, or the need for more and more of the substance to get the same effect
• Withdrawal symptoms when the substance is stopped
• Continued use despite negative consequences
• Loss of control over drug use
• Social, occupational, and financial problems

Addiction is a serious disease, but it is treatable. With the right help, people can recover from addiction and live healthy, productive lives.
