Addiction is a health condition in which you have strong cravings for a certain substance. These cravings occur due to physical changes in your brain after repeated exposure to a drug. These cravings can lead to uncontrolled drug use, which takes a toll on your health, relationships, career, finances, and other aspects of your life. While addiction is classified as a disease, dependence is a state of being physically dependent on a certain substance. Addiction is rooted in your brain, but dependence occurs when your body as a whole becomes used to the effects of a drug and goes into withdrawal if you stop using that substance. The symptoms of withdrawal vary by drug, but they can include severe mental and physical reactions.
