Abstract
Addiction is a biopsychosocial process in which an individual becomes dependent on a given substance; in such situation, these users actively spend time to obtain drugs despite the adverse consequences inflicted on self and others. By utilizing the neurological approach, a better understanding of the microbiological process that builds the foundation of substance dependence can be achieved as well as the development of customized treatment for substance use.
