
Psychoactive drugs typically create a pleasurable
feeling that the user wants to repeat, this activity
takes place along the “REWARD PATHWAY ” of
the brain. Brain cells along this pathway release a
chemical called DOPAMINE. Dopamine is not
necessarily a dangerous chemical but can be in
association with drug use.
Dangerous Effects of Dopamine when a
person is on drugs
The extra dopamine released during the drug use
can cause the user to ignore the harmful effects of
the drug and want to continue using it.
 Flooding the reward pathway with dopamine may
lead to intense cravings for the drug when it’s not
available.
 After a time, drug abuse can dull the brain’s
reactions to natural levels of dopamine. The user
no longer feels pleasure from normal activities.

ADDICTION
Physical addiction occurs when the body’s chemistry adjusts its functioning to the
presence of the drug. The addicted person requires higher and higher does of the drug
to ward off symptoms of withdrawal
Psychological addiction occurs when a strong mental craving for a drug sets in. The
craving may last for years after the drug is gone. The only sure way to escape drug
addiction is never to experiment with drugs that produce it.
WITHDRAWL
The physical symptoms of withdrawal that occur when a drug to which a person is
addicted is cleared from the body tissues.
Withdrawal Symptoms include but are not limited to: nausea, vomiting,
headaches, dizziness, fever, digestion problems, paranoia or panic, tremors,
