Question 3

Describe the process of addiction.

Accepted Answer

Addictive behavior seems to have three common aspects that include:

2) compulsion that occurs when increasingly more energy, time, and money are spent pursuing the drug or behavior. During this aspect, an individual's "normal"life begins to degrade while he or she searches for increased pleasure from the drug or behavior.
3) loss of control that occurs when the search for highs changes to a desire to avoid the withdrawal from the drug or behavior and, as a result, the individual loses the ability to control his or her behavior.
