Addicted!

Addiction is a state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences. It can be thought of as a disease or biological process leading to such behaviors. The two properties that characterize all addictive stimuli are that they are reinforcing (i.e., they increase the likelihood that a person will seek repeated exposure to them) and intrinsically rewarding (i.e., something perceived as being positive or desirable).

Treatment:
The treatment is focused on enabling the patient from abstaining from drugs of any form and under any conditions for the rest of their life. This is done by way of initially detoxifying the patient.

Withdrawal symptoms:
1. The unpleasant physical reaction that accompanies the process of ceasing to take an addictive drug.
2. Abnormal physical or psychological features that follow the abrupt discontinuation of a drug that has the capability of producing physical dependence. In example, common opiates withdrawal symptoms include sweating, goose bumps, vomiting, anxiety, insomnia, and muscle pain.
