seeking and use, and bye neurochemical and molecular changes in the brain. It

Drug addiction is the extensive use of drugs continuously that leads to negative
social and health consequences. Drug addicts exhibit various abnormal
behaviours such as being isolated from people surrounding them as friends and
family, being crime committers, and facing difficulties when working in their
jobs or at schools. A drug addict individual lives with the main focus of
continuing to use those drugs. (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2009)

variables; architecture and the healing of psychiatric patients (addicts) to know
