The addiction to illicit drugs, alcohol and even certain drugs used in medicine as tranquilizers or painkillers, and are known as psychoactive, is one of the issues most important public health worldwide.

It may fall from children and teens up to adults, regardless of their social class or educational level. Moreover, the medical community views addiction as a chronic disorder that affects nerve cells responsible for the mental processes of thinking, reasoning, will and pleasure.

In fact, at present rates of addiction to different substances mentioned are so alarming, that its impact, in addition to affecting the peace and family economy, are an item high on the budget, particularly in regards to medical research, prevention and rehabilitation of addicts. Only in the United States, for example, investment in recent years has been 80 billion dollars annually.

By comparison, the addiction is like diabetes or hypertension, are not cured but are handled with the help of medical and patient self-management.
