...See more The three main addiction types are physical addiction, behavioral addiction, and impulse control disorders. Physical addiction occurs when the body becomes so dependent on a substance to the point of experiencing withdrawal symptoms without it. The substance alters brain chemistry, creating a physical need to continue using to feel normal. Behavioral addiction is a compulsion to engage in rewarding non-substance-related behaviors despite negative consequences. Addictive behaviors, such as gambling, internet use, or shopping, lead to dependence and provide emotional relief or pleasure by activating the same brain circuits as substance addiction. Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are conditions involving difficulty resisting impulses or urges, resulting in harmful outcomes. ICDs manifest as repeated acts of stealing or compulsive hair-pulling, causing significant distress or impairment in daily functioning. What are the physical addictions? Alcohol addiction Tobacco addiction Opioid addiction Marijuana addiction Prescription drug addiction Inhalant addiction PCP addiction Amphetamine addiction Cocaine addiction Hallucinogen addiction What are the behavioral addictions?
