Info

But guess what? In the last twenty years, Midwest Institute for Addiction have learned a lot more about the brain. We know what the physical defect of addiction is and where in the brain it is. Addiction is a defect in the hedonic system or the system that perceives pleasure, which is deep in the part of the brain that handles basic survival. Because of this defect, the addict unconsciously thinks of the drug as life itself. Beer is not just a beer anymore – the addict needs the beer to get through life and when the beer is unavailable they crave it.
