The popular view of dependence evolves around advanced science or regulations. Until the 1960s, the drug is almost considered a trivial problem. In 1970s, the problematic use (including illicit drugs) explodes in West to become a public health problem while at same time sets up international regulation (drug addiction intervention Lafayette CA). The addict at time was so often seen as a patient, a victim of consumption, forced into crime and whose only salvation was in abstinence. It often gives off a negative and dangerous image and transgression.



In this context, more than the product, it is the personality of user that determines dependence, defined as having "abnormal appetite and prolonged" whose origin is to be attributed to emotional problems. Pharmacology, and in recent years, the term drug-seeking behavior has emerged, it represents an earlier stage where the drug psychic component of substance dependence prevails, it is mainly used to describe the addictive potential of some drugs such as benzodiazepines.



Until the early nineteenth century, some toxic chemicals remained confined to traditional or medical uses but in this century, mainly because of scientific advances (isolation of active ingredients of coca, opium, heroin invention some products are beginning to be consumed in a hedonistic pleasure-seeking purpose generally in artistic or scientific circles but also in popular media (opium derivatives for British workers in particular). This practice had already been observed in eighteenth century China with opium which caused the opium Wars.



In 1950s, the decline of a century of research and developments in psychology differentiate physical dependence (previously treated as only one visible manifestation of problem) and psychological dependence (implicated in relapse despite withdrawal). This distinction is sometimes difficult to establish clinically.



A medical comparison of dependence potential and the possibility of physical harm through the use of dissimilar drugs are shown to right. Use, distribution or storage of a large number of drugs are banned in most countries, and using those substances risk being prosecuted by the authorities. If users must obtain drugs illegally, the economic consequences of regular use be significant.



In psychiatry, according to old formulations (late nineteenth century), substance abuse disorder testify deep personality derived from original defects often associated with other perversions8. Pedagogical assumptions are based on educational factors. Thus, a "deficiency syndrome authority" is the cause of psychological disorders including a deep insecurity that would immaturity.



Genetic assumptions are based on a model of personality development which explains the recurrent connections between dependence and teens dependence by putting in a comprehensive framework for promoting adolescent pipes passage to act as "the crisis of originality juvenile", play with death or belonging to a bande8. In current teenagers who smoke hemp to sleep at night for example, the "seal" is used as a pseudo "transitional object" artificially replacing the feeling of a comforting maternal presence.



This ritual is accompanied by a tradition of use of product conveying instructions for use, the quantities to be used, the dangers relating to use, etc. This socio-cultural tolerance explains why some highly addictive product and generating public health problems (including substance abuse) are considered relatively harmless sometimes unregulated in some parts of world.
