Defining Drug Addiction

One way that drug addiction is different from other addictions is that it involves an illegal substance.  This automatically puts the addict into a different realm of addiction.  However, the addiction factor is just the same as other addictions, but has the added risk of law involvement.  There is often a serious financial downfall that surrounds the drug addict because drugs are expensive.  

Some of the problems associated with drug addiction include:

deterioration of the body

emotional difficulties

deterioration of friendships and relationships
