is a disease that affects a person's brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the
use of a legal or illegal drug or medicine. Substances such as alcohol, marijuana and nicotine
also are considered drugs. When you're addicted, you may continue using the drug despite the

symptoms such as nausea, restlessness, insomnia, depression, sweating, shaking, and anxiety.
• Lost control over the drug use. - Often doing drugs or using more than planned, even when
promising self not to. Wants to stop using, but feels powerless.

• Life revolves around drug use. - Spends a lot of time using and thinking about drugs, figuring out
how to get them, and recovering from the drug’s effects.

• Abandoned activities - previously enjoyed, such as hobbies, sports, and socializing, because of
drug use. • Continues to use drugs, despite knowing it hurts you. - Drug use causes major problems —
blackouts, infections, mood swings, depression, paranoia — but uses anyway
