It won't be the first time that someone decided to try cocaine or crack "just once" and then discovered they just couldn't stop. They wanted just "one more" hit. Addictive nature of drugs is considered from two points of view: physiological and psychological. Both types of addiction are very harmful for our organism and should be taken into account while treating. Unfortunately, there is a great variety of drugs that can cause these addictions: codeine and alcohol, heroin and cocaine, nicotine and morphine and so on.

Besides being a person with a serious health disorder, substance dependence and the compulsive use of drugs are viewed as a social, economic and political problem. Consequences of these disorders are frequently associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and teen pregnancy, as well as homelessness, domestic violence, unemployment, failure in school, and burglary, robbery or larceny.
