How Does Addiction Occur?
How Does Addiction Occur?
When examining the factors that lead to addiction, it is challenging to identify a single cause. Numerous factors may contribute to addiction. Psychological and biological influences affect the addiction process. The use of a pleasurable substance can stimulate the pleasure center in the brain, helping individuals escape feelings of internal distress, unhappiness, restlessness, and tension. To experience the same feeling of pleasure, individuals continue to use that substance. A person does not start using substances with the desire to become addicted; however, as they repeatedly use the substance, they lose control over their use and thus become addicted.
