What is Addiction and Chemical Dependence?
Addiction, also known as substance use disorder, refers to a complex condition characterized by the compulsive use of substances despite negative consequences. Chemical dependence is a physical or psychological reliance on a substance, leading to withdrawal symptoms upon cessation of use. Substance use disorders can involve various substances, including opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, alcohol, and others.
Understanding the Symptoms
Symptoms of addiction and chemical dependence can vary based on the substance and individual, but may include:
- Cravings or urges to use substances
- Loss of control over substance use
- Continued use despite negative consequences (health, social, legal)
- Tolerance: needing more of the substance to achieve the same effect
- Withdrawal symptoms when not using the substance
- Neglect of responsibilities due to substance use
