What is Addiction?

Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease characterized by compulsive drug-seeking or craving and abuse and by long-lasting chemical changes in the brain. One can be physiologically or psychologically addicted to a number of substances, including anabolic steroids, ecstasy, inhalants, marijuana, nicotine, stimulants, and alcohol. Additionally, substance abuse can be a factor in domestic violence, with some studies claiming that the percentage of abusers who are under the influence of alcohol when they assault a partner ranges from 48 to 87 percent!
