Drugs alter how your brain sends, receives, and processes information. When used appropriately, drugs can be used to treat mental disabilities and/or pain. When abused, drugs can slow down brain production and even damage it. People usually get addicted to drugs when they receive the pleasurable feelings associated with drugs. This is called the "reward pathway." When drugs are used, the chemical dopamine is released which causes a drug craving. This is how drug addiction begins.
