(Sunshine Behavioral Health, n.d.-b)
"An addiction is a chronic dysfunction of the brain system that involves reward, motivation, and memory. It’s about the way your body craves a substance or behavior, especially if it causes a compulsive or obsessive pursuit of “reward” and lack of concern over consequences (Healthline)".
Signs of Addiction
Spending all of your money on the substance
Experiencing withdrawals when not taking the drug
