Physical dependence is marked by the body's need for a substance due to chronic exposure to a substance. If withheld, the body goes into withdrawal and experiences confusion, seizures, and visual hallucinations, as well as extreme increases in heart rate and blood pressure.

Physical dependence occurs when a person's body adapts to a substance, leading to withdrawal symptoms when the substance is not taken; for example, someone who regularly uses opioids may experience nausea and tremors if they suddenly stop.
