Drug 

addiction is a major issue worldwide. It is also thought to be a chronic,

relapsing condition defined by obsessive drug-seeking, continuing use despite
substantial negative socioeconomic and health effects, and lack of control over
drug use. According to scientific study, addiction is a medical problem that affects
the brain and behavioral changes. It also causes pleasure, mental disturbance,
negative consequences while pregnant or breastfeeding, increased transmission
of infectious illnesses, and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. A healthy
brain uses pleasure to identify and promote positive actions such as eating,
interacting, and sex. All addictive substances have an effect on reward-related
brain circuits, specifically the dopamine system in the reward pathway. Drugs give
a rush of intense pleasure by stimulating the brain's reward pathway. Signals in a
person's daily routine or surroundings that have been associated with drug use, as
a result of alterations in the reward circuit, might induce uncontrolled desires
anytime the person is exposed to these cues even if the substance is not
accessible. This learnt instinctive reaction can persist even in persons who have
not used drugs in many years.

Normal or healthy rewards becomes accomplished by activating brain

circuits that make you feel good, which stimulates you to repeat those activities.
When you're in danger, a healthy brain prompts your body to react swiftly with
dread or alarm, allowing you to escape out of harm's path. Drugs or alcohol may
alter your brain's pleasure/reward pathways and trap you into wanting more and
more. People typically take drugs at this stage to avoid feeling unpleasant rather
than for their pleasure benefits.
