Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness. Addiction is the most severe form of a full spectrum of substance use disorders, and is a medical illness caused by repeated misuse of a substance or substances.<\/p>\n

The new DSM describes a problematic pattern of use of an intoxicating substance leading to clinically significant impairment or distress with 10 or 11 diagnostic criteria (depending on the substance) occurring within a 12-month period. Those who have two or three criteria are considered to have a \u201cmild\u201d disorder, four or five is considered “moderate,” and six or more symptoms, “severe.” The diagnostic criteria are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended.<\/li>\n
  2. There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful effort to cut down or control use of the substance.<\/li>\n
  3. A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance, use the substance, or recover from its effects.<\/li>\n
  4. Craving, or a strong desire or urge to use the substance, occurs.<\/li>\n
  5. Recurrent use of the substance results in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home.<\/li>\n
  6. Use of the substance continues despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of its use.<\/li>\n
  7. Important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of use of the substance.<\/li>\n
  8. Use of the substance is recurrent in situations in which it is physically hazardous.<\/li>\n
  9. Use of the substance is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance.<\/li>\n
  10. Tolerance, as defined by either of the following:\n
      \n
    1. A need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve intoxication or desired effect<\/li>\n
    2. A markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following:\n
        \n
      1. The characteristic withdrawal syndrome for that substance (as specified in the DSM-5 for each substance).<\/li>\n
      2. The use of a substance (or a closely related substance) to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
