Drug addiction is a severe, recurrent disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior and causes severe damage to internal organ systems. This definition is rarely used in modern medicine and it has been replaced by the definition of addiction syndrome.
At the heart of the disease is a morbid addiction to the use of psychoactive substances. In many cases the tendency is so strong that the person is not able to overcome it on his/her own.
Addiction can be physical or psychological. The first is due to the involvement of the drug in the metabolic processes in the body. The second is the insurmountable desire for the feeling that arises from the patient after the use of psychoactive substances․ Most drug users generally have those two forms of addiction that require a comprehensive treatment approach.
Any medical intervention is performed only at the patient’s discretion.

Drug addiction treatment is carried out in a special private clinic in a medical center or at home. The medical center provides inpatient and outpatient medical care services and psychosocial support to people addicted to drugs and other psychoactive substances.
