What Is Addiction?

Addiction is a developmentally acquired brain disease. When a human being uses artificial substances or negative behaviors to deal with trauma or pain in their life, changes take place in the brains shape and functioning. These changes further propel the individual to use the substance or behavior as a coping mechanism. Eventually, these choices lead to further pain and trauma as the individual becomes trapped by, not only the original source of pain but the coping mechanisms used to anesthetize their pain.
