Tolerance:
Tolerance develops when a person's physical responsiveness to a substance, such as alcohol or drugs, gradually diminishes over time. As a result, a greater dose of the drug is required to attain a similar effect as when it was initially consumed. People develop resistance to the drug's influence over time in quest of the original exhilaration they previously experienced from it.
Withdrawal:
Withdrawal is the confluence of physical and psychological consequences that a person suffers after discontinuing or reducing their use of a substance such as alcohol or prescription or recreational medications.
Substance dependence:
Substance dependency, also recognized as drug dependence, is a biopsychological condition in which a person's functioning is reliant on the required re-consuming of a psychoactive substance as a consequence of an adaptive state that has emerged within the individual as a result of psychoactive substance usages, which leads in the feeling of withdrawal, which demands the re-consumption of the drug.
