Can Anyone Develop an Addiction to Alcohol or Drugs?

It is possible for anyone to develop a dependency and addiction to drugs or alcohol after repeated use. Generally, most people who become addicted have a genetic or psychological predisposition to addiction. Meaning it is either passed down from parents or they have previous mental issues like OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). However, just because a parent is addicted, it doesn’t mean their children will automatically become addicted to that or any other substance.

Other conditions can determine how people become addicted to substances including their sensitivity to substances, the duration of their use, the frequency and dosage of use. Many people can become addicted to a substance after one or two uses, while others could use the same substance for months, and not develop an addiction.

Addiction is a chronic behavioral and psychological disease, and it is treated like many other chronic diseases, through a two pronged approach—clinically and psychologically (behavioral and therapeutic treatment.) As there is no “cure” to addiction, substance abusers will have to maintain their recovery on a day-to-day basis for the rest of their lives.
