What is Drug Addiction?

Most people who experiment with drugs never expect it to become a full-blown battle with addiction. In the beginning, it can feel like a seemingly harmless escape from physical or emotional pain. But with prolonged use, the brain’s chemistry begins to change. Instead of something you have control of, your brain begins signaling an intense need for the drug of choice. What was once recreational becomes a habit that controls your life. In full-blown addiction, the high isn’t even the goal anymore, it’s often just using in order to feel somewhat normal.
