Are you abusing drugs and thinking about drug rehab?
Drug addiction is a pathological or abnormal condition which arises due to frequent drug use. The disorder of addiction involves the progression of recreational drug use to the development of drug-seeking behaviour, vulnerability to relapse, and a gradual decrease in the drug user’s ability to respond to naturally rewarding stimuli.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM-IV) has categorized three stages of addiction: preoccupation / anticipation, binge /
intoxication and withdrawal / negative effect. These stages are characterized by constant cravings and preoccupation with obtaining the substance; using more of the substance(s) than necessary to experience the intoxicating effects; and
gaining tolerance, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and decreased motivation for normal life activities. Last Door treats addiction for illegal drugs as well as prescription or over-the-counter drugs.
