Drug Addiction

Drug Addiction

The definition of addiction among the general population is a fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity. Medically, there are 2 categories: substance and nonsubstance addiction, and many risk factors predispose individuals to both. In particular, a history of risk-taking behavior, genetic predisposition, and propensity for stress play a role. Over time, addiction changes parts of the brain, specifically the dopaminergic system, responsible for perceiving rewards.Addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that leads to medical, psychological, and social complications. This activity outlines the importance of the interprofessional team in treating patients with addiction to ensure the best long-term outcomes. Participating clinicians review the importance of considering a holistic approach to the care of their patients.
