Drug abuse is evidenced when there is recurrent drug use by the individual that is often accompanied by adverse consequences, e.g., social, economic, health, for the individual or society. Drug dependence includes this feature; in addition, in the absence of the drug, the drug dependent person experiences unpleasant and uncontrollable mood states that is accompanied with the compulsive use of drugs. Typically tolerance is evidenced and physiological withdrawal may be evidenced if the drug is not taken.
