Drug addiction and abuse refer to the long-term or continuous use of any chemical substance to alter body or mental states for reasons other than medically recognized uses. The term "substance abuse" is now commonly used because of the broad range of substances (including alcohol and inhalants) that can fit the addictive profile. Continuing, compulsive nature of drugs are the terms that are used nowadays to describe addiction rather than the physical and/or psychological harm to the user and society, and includes both licit and illicit drugs. Physical dependence is defined by tolerance and withdrawal symptoms when the user is abstinent; psychological dependence is characterized by the subjective impression that the user needs the substance to sustain a sense of well-being.
