For years scientists have been trying to find out the mechanism of
addiction-its causes and its cures. Primarily addictions were viewed as
addictions to substances such as alcohol, drugs and nicotine, however
many researchers start to believe that people can be addicted to
activities such as sex or gambling too.

There are variety of reasons why people take drugs. People who take
drugs feel good in the beginning – it puts them in a state of relaxation
and satisfaction. They try to lessen anxiety and other stress related
disorders to perform better in their jobs or social life. But the
problem is, over time the body needs more addictive substances to feel
normal and at this point the drug abuse becomes noticeable. The
addiction can be treated successfully and people can regain control of
their lives.

There are a variety of rehabilitative services such as Drug treatment programs at California drug rehabilitation centers , which incorporate the
treatments with individual needs to encourage their recovery from
addiction.

As a result, addiction is a disease that affects both brain and behavior
and it should be treated effectively.
