What is Drug Addiction

• Drug addiction is a chronic, often relapsing
  brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking
  and use, despite harmful consequences to the drug
  addict and those around them.
• Drug addiction is a brain disease because the
  abuse of drugs leads to changes in the structure
  and function of the brain.
• Many people do not understand why people become
  addicted to drugs or how drugs change
  the brain to foster compulsive drug abuse.
• They mistakenly view drug abuse and addiction as
  strictly a social problem and may characterize
  those who take drugs as morally weak.
