Simply put, Addiction means a person has no control over the consumption of drugs or alcohol. He or she has to have it, losing one’s Mind and will. It is often progressive and fatal. Risk for addiction is influenced by the person’s biology (genetic), psychosocial environment and age. The more risk factors an individual has, the greater the risk of taking drugs that lead to addiction.
