Addictive substances and gambling support

Addiction can be identified as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is defined by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite some harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain; they change its structure and how it works. These brain changes can be long lasting and can lead to many harmful, often self-destructive, behaviors.
