Drug addiction is an addiction to any narcotic drug, accompanied by a pathological craving for the use of psychoactive substances. In the process of systematic use of drugs, tolerance to them is formed, physical and mental dependence develops.
Any person can suffer from drug addiction, regardless of status, age, social status and material condition. The ailment does not care whether the addict has parents, how many cars in the garage, what education he received and how many foreign languages he learned, whether he lives in luxurious conditions or in a hut, young or old.
After taking a dose, a person experiences a feeling of crazy joy, the world is painted in bright colors. When the effect of the substance weakens, there is a withdrawal and the desire to try the drug again. It is so difficult to withstand withdrawal that the next dose is obtained at any cost.
Addiction to many drugs comes from the first use. Further, the "harmless" at the first and very erroneous glance occupation begins to control a person against his will, and life turns into a continuous series of "get – use" no matter what.
Drug addiction is a complex of life-threatening symptoms and a social problem. This is the grief of relatives and the disintegration of the personality. It is a complete impossibility to participate in the life of one's own, family and society. It's a waking dream, a morass and a hallucination. The patient himself does not understand this, his entire existence is aimed at only one thing - to get and use.
