| Narcotic addiction is life a
threatening condition that can lead to physiologic and
psychological dependence. Narcotics, class of drugs
that includes opiods,, utilized to treat pain.
Cocaine is also considered a narcotic. Often, through continued
usage, narcotics lead to tolerance that can then lead to
addiction.
Opiods act by binding to the opioid-U receptors or the
"reward pathway." With regular and continued use
the brain stops producing natural pain killing neuro-chemicals,
and relies on outside supplementation. As the user develops more
tolerance they then develop dependence. Failure to provide
the drug to the brain, the patient undergoes withdrawal.
