Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) описывает наркотическую зависимость как сильное желание потреблять психоактивные вещества, трудно контролируемое по...требление этих веществ, продолжение потребления психоактивных ве-ществ, несмотря на физические, психические и социальные проблемы, связанные с таким потреблением, постепенное повы-шение дозы, и иногда проявления абстинентного синдрома при внезапном отсутствии вещества3. Результаты исследований показывают, что наркотическая зависимость является не отсутствием воли или силы характера, а хроническим рецидивным заболеванием, имеющим психологическую и генетическую основу.
