Understanding and Treating Drug Addiction: A Comprehensive Approach

Substances that alter consciousness and consequently our experience of the world have been among humans since time immemorial. There are many types of substances that are very often abused and addictive. The reasons why people turn to drugs are varied. At first they may include curiosity and a desire for new experiences, later they may become a tool to suppress negative feelings and try to escape from solving crisis situations.

Drug addiction is a process that can go through several stages: from initial experimentation and feelings of excitement, through loss of control over the amount and frequency of use, to the stage when drug use ceases to bring any positive effects and becomes a way to avoid withdrawal symptoms or mental and physical pain.
