ARE ALL DRUGS ADDICTIVE?

Addiction, in medical terms, is a condition in which a human body depends on something for its normal functioning, which further leads to physical dependence. Addiction triggers a mental issue and proceeds to a physical reliance. In such a state a person tends to rely on a typical substance or a drug that seems to give him relief. An escalated drug tolerance is what we know as addiction. One can even get addicted to prescribed drugs; it need not necessarily be due to drug abuse. We have the best drug rehabilitation center in Pune.

It is quite tough a job to answer whether all drugs are addictive or not, it depends on how one defines addiction. Some feel that psychological dependence on a drug or any other substance is addiction. It can be anything. Some people are inclined towards these things and feel that they cannot live without the influence of the substance. This is more of a problem with the person who is using it than the substance or drug itself. Dependence is after all human nature; we cannot blame a drug just because we depend on it. This has more to do with the mental state of one's mind than the physical.

Now, talking of physical dependence, it happens with certain drugs. We get used to some particular drugs typically and cannot survive without them. This happens due to repetitive use of the same drug for a considerable period and in heavy doses. Tranquilizers, heroin, and also the common alcohol are the major addictives. These drugs are the most potent ones and are usually consumed in heavy doses and regularly. Irregularity can lead to severe complications like flu and shakes and at times can also lead to death. The body and the mind are dependent on the drug and prevent illness.

The cause of drug addiction largely depends on the drug in use or abuse, the person using it, and also the situations in which the drug is taken. It is the weakness of a person that leads to addiction. Some social issues are also being held responsible for drug addiction. Mental weakness, peer pressure, emotional setback, and inferiority complex, any of these can be responsible for addiction. Drugs cannot be blamed.

Tranquilizers indeed have an addictive effect, and so are some of the commonly used cough syrups, but that happens to in case of an overdose. Normal dosage is fine and helpful too. One should not get messed up with the terms drug dependence and drug- abuse. These are different terms and have different meanings. Dependence is the after-effect of stopping the use of a drug, while abuse refers to knowingly over-using a drug. The former is more of tolerance and the latter is a chronic symptom.

Sleeping pills and other drugs like ecstasy, LSD, and cannabis, when used regularly can cause psychological dependence, and physical dependence is unlikely. Drugs, which are stimulants like crack, cocaine, nicotine, and amphetamine also lead to psychological dependence, the physical dependence of these drugs, is yet to be proved.
