Drug addiction compels the addict to engage in a specific type of behavior, which is to consume the drug to which he or she is addicted. Nicotine addicts smoke cigarettes. Smoking is a type of behavior. We could describe addiction as a medical condition, which leads to a type of behavior. The behavior is a consequence of the addiction.
Severe drug addiction is a very serious illness. When not treated, drugs/substance abuse can cause violence and even fatalities. Transitional plan in drug addiction can refer to the changes in a man's personality and behavior from being a normal person until he/she becomes a drug dependent.
Most experts consider it to be a disease. It fits all the criteria.
Drug addiction is not related to normal behavior. You become irritable with friends and family. You have problems with remembering things, and problems on the job. Also you have an overwhelming desire for the next drink or drug. And if you suddenly stop the drug, you will go through unpleasant psychological and psychical withdrawal. An addictive person will feel normal when they get the next "fix".
Drugs can be grouped into different classes according to their effect on the central nervous system (your brain and its connections to the various organs and other parts of your body). If you are using a drug repeatedly over a period of time, you will develop dependence on that drug. But you will also develop dependence to other drugs that you have not used that are in the same class as the drug you are using. This means that when you stop using one drug and begin to experience withdrawal, prescribed use of another drug in the same class might stop or decrease the severity of withdrawal. An example is the use of methadone (a narcotic) to help heroin (a narcotic) users avoid withdrawal. Cross addiction has also been used to describe addiction to more than one drug, whether or not it is in the same class
