You may be hooked emotionally and psychologically. You may have a physical dependence, too. But if you?re addicted to a drug, whether the drug is legal or illegal, you have a craving for it. You want to use it again. When you stop taking the drug, you may have unpleasant physical reactions.
Drug addiction involves compulsively seeking to use a substance, regardless of the potentially negative social, psychological and physical consequences. Certain drugs, such as narcotics and cocaine, are more physically addicting than some other drugs.
The range of drugs to which you can become addicted is wide. They include:
Cannabis compounds. Contained in marijuana and hashish.
Central nervous system depressants. Barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines include tranquilizers such as diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), oxazepam (Serax), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin) and chlordiazepoxide (Librium).
Central nervous system stimulants. Amphetamines and cocaine.
Designer drugs. Synthetic compounds such as Ecstasy, which has both amphetaminelike and hallucinogenic effects.
Hallucinogens. LSD and phencyclidine (PCP).
Inhalants. Glue, paint, solvents, nitrous oxide.
Opioids. Narcotic, painkilling drugs produced naturally from opium or made synthetically. They include heroin, morphine, codeine and methadone.
Breaking a drug addiction may involve support from your doctor, family, friends and others who have an addiction, as well as inpatient and outpatient treatment.
