In psychiatry, addiction is linked to the notion of pleasure seeking and alienation that are central to definition, dependence is defined in three ways: fun, stress and toxicity. It is looking for fun - or the avoidance of displeasure situation due to lack of product - which would push the repeated use; induce this repeated use, because of installation of an dependence, by use forced suffered by the user and this use in duration constrained installed reveal the toxic character of Product (drug addiction intervention Lafayette CA).

In this context, more than the product, it is the personality of user that determines dependence, defined as having "abnormal appetite and prolonged" whose origin is to be attributed to emotional problems. Pharmacology, and in recent years, the term drug-seeking behavior has emerged, it represents an earlier stage where the drug psychic component of substance dependence prevails, it is mainly used to describe the addictive potential of some drugs such as benzodiazepines.

The rapid development of this type of dependence often leaves poor professional knowledge of field is undeveloped; care most often falls or psychiatric services or therapeutic communities. Individual psychotherapy psychoanalytic inspiration, or the group are among the most common techniques of outpatient treatment for drug addicts with the residential treatment in communities based on a behavioral model (or, in another register, sectarian Scientologists, etc.).

There are no objective criteria that separates dependence from alcoholism. The former believe that drug dependence include irresistible physical dependence, is now abandoned. It is estimated odd forms of habituation, which just any covers direct physical symptoms. Especially after long-term use of opioids like heroin may end in use provide strong physical symptoms such as vomiting and convulsions, and in extreme cases can result in death.

Their involvement in psychotherapy is often random, frequent relapses what makes a certain resignation begins to gain psychiatric practitioners who then begin to use the alternatives before the AIDS epidemic will come rushing this remedy, especially methadone, like health emergency solution. It is in 1980s, the onset of AIDS and hepatitis require a radical change in strategy by the establishment of policies to reduce risks - especially in Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The mechanism of drug involves many factors.

This public health problem relayed by the establishment of international rules governing some of products brings a vision in West where the addict is often depicted as an injector user of an illegal psychotropic (heroin). In 1980s, the public health problem related to practice of injection will be amplified by the onset of AIDS virus and Hepatitis C (originally called "non-A non-B") and hepatitis B largely transmitted by users using injection or to a lesser extent by inhalation diseases.

From the 1990s, the phenomenon of poly exploding, especially in Western countries as globalization linked to drug trafficking spreads the drug problem in initially producing countries. There is a concept of socio-cultural tolerance, that in a country where a substance is produced and therefore usually eaten traditionally, a state of relative equilibrium is established between this substance and users. This product is embedded in a social ritual, religious or mystical.

This ritual is accompanied by a tradition of use of product conveying instructions for use, the quantities to be used, the dangers relating to use, etc. This socio-cultural tolerance explains why some highly addictive product and generating public health problems (including substance abuse) are considered relatively harmless sometimes unregulated in some parts of world.
