Drug Addiction
Drug
addiction is a complex neurobiological disease that affects a
person's brain and behaviour and leads to an inability to control the use of a
legal or illegal drug or medication. It is considered as a brain disease because
excessive use of drug changes the brain by increasing the dopamine secretion
and it induces the brain signals. Without proper treatment, these brain changes
can affect the lives.
The proper
medication for addiction
helps the process easier by easing the cravings and side effects. It can also
be treated with inpatient treatment plus a comprehensive aftercare program
where drug addicts
can find lasting relief from the ravages of chemical dependency, regardless of
how long they’ve been addicted.
