DRUGS

What is drug addiction?
Drug addiction is a disease that involves the dependence of substances affecting the central nervous system and brain function, causing changes in behavior, perception and emotions. The effects of drugs are different, depending on the type of drug and the amount or frequency with which it is consumed. They can produce hallucinations, intensify or dull the senses, cause feelings of euphoria or despair. Some drugs can even lead to madness or death.
The dependence-producing drugs can be of two types:
 - Physical dependence: The body becomes in need of drugs, so much so that when consumption stops they occur strong physiological disorders, which is known as withdrawal.
 - Psychic dependence: The state of euphoria you feel when consumed drugs, and search again leading to consumption to avoid discomfort or for pleasure. The individual feels an urgent need to take drugs, and experience a crash when you do not get emotional.
 Some drugs produce tolerance, which leads the addict to consume more amount of drug each time, as the body adjusts to the consumption and a greater quantity of substance to achieve the same effect.
