What Is Drug Addiction?

Drug addiction—also known as substance use disorder (SUD)—is a chronic condition that leads to compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. It alters the brain’s reward system, triggering cravings and repeated drug-seeking behaviors. Without professional addiction treatment, these cycles can be difficult to break. Addiction can involve opioids, stimulants, sedatives, prescription drugs, and illicit substances.

Common Substances Associated with SUD:

Alcohol: One of the most prevalent substances linked to SUD. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to dependence, with withdrawal symptoms that may include tremors, anxiety, and, in severe cases, delirium tremens.
Cannabis: Regular use can result in cannabis use disorder, characterized by cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability and sleep disturbances.
Opioids: This category includes both prescription pain relievers (like oxycodone and hydrocodone) and illicit drugs such as heroin. Opioid use disorder is associated with high risks of overdose and requires comprehensive treatment strategies.
Stimulants: Substances like cocaine and methamphetamine fall into this category. They can lead to severe psychological dependence and a range of health complications.
Sedatives, Hypnotics, or Anxiolytics: This group includes medications such as benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax) and barbiturates, which are prescribed for anxiety or sleep disorders but can be highly addictive.
Hallucinogens: Drugs like LSD and psilocybin mushrooms can lead to persistent psychosis and other long-term mental health issues when misused.
Inhalants: Common household products like glue, paint thinners, and nitrous oxide are sometimes misused for their psychoactive effects, leading to various health risks.
Nicotine: Found in tobacco products, nicotine is highly addictive and contributes to numerous health problems, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Caffeine: While widely consumed, excessive caffeine intake can lead to dependence, with withdrawal symptoms like headaches and irritability.
