Question

Which type of dependence involves the habitual use of a drug, where the body requires repeated administration of the drug to prevent negative physical withdrawal symptoms.

Answer 1

Physical dependence

Step-by-step explanation:

Physical dependence is a physiological condition in which continuous use of a drug makes the brain to adapt and develop tolerance against the effect of the drug, and as a result, the body would require continuous use of that drug to maintain the positive effect the individual gets from using such drugs. A withdrawal from the use of the drug by the individual would bring about uncomfortable and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Misuse of drugs such as opioids, amphetamines etc can result in physical dependence.
