Abstract
The DSM IV refer to the terms "addiction", "dependence" and "alcoholism" interchangeably to mean individuals who have impaired control or dependence over drug use, and continue to behave in a manner which may previously have caused problems for the individual. The relationship with the drug is paramount for the user in all kinds of situations. Psychologically, the individual is obsessed with the drug and generate a compulsion to drink. Physiologically the neuro-chemical action takes over the rationale brain action (American Psychiatric Association 1994)
