Addictions. Addiction is a condition in which the body must have a drug to avoid physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Addictionâs first stage is dependence, during which the search for a drug dominates an individualâs life. An addict eventually develops tolerance, which forces the person to consume larger and larger doses of the drug to get the same effect. Adapted from the Encyclopedia of Psychology.
drug addiction, a condition characterized by an overwhelming desire to continue taking a drug to which one has become habituated through repeated consumption because it produces a particular effect, usually an alteration of mental status. condition characterized by an overwhelming desire to continue taking a drug to which one has become habituated through repeated consumption because it produces a particular effect, usually an alteration of mental status.
