Addiction, as usually defined, is a physical dependence on a substance, in the case of drug addiction. Once an individual gets dependent on a substance, he or she is not able to function well and may feel physical pains when he or she doesn’t take in the drug. The reason is that the drug has already affected the chemical balance in the brain allowing the person’s system to crave for the certain drug in order to achieve sense of balance. This gets worse when the body starts to tolerate the substance that enters the system, thus, resulting to a higher quantity requirement the next time the drug is taken to reach the desired effect.
