    What is Addiction?
    “Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease
    that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use,
    despite harmful consequences.† It is considered a brain
    disease because drugs change the brain—they change its
    structure and how it works. These brain changes can be long-
    lasting, and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people
    who abuse drugs.”
