Addiction versus a habit or urge

Ernesto Ortiz Cruzado, MD, a psychiatrist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explains that addiction is when a patient is dependent on something and needs more and more of it to meet their need. With drugs and alcohol, this includes a physical need, which can lead to withdrawl issues. Dr. Cruzado adds that addiction actually interferes with a patient’s life, making it different from a habit or urge. Many times, a person with addictive tendencies will replace one addiction with another. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call [phone] or visit
