• \The inability to regulate the use of a specified substance due to repeated or continuous use. Key features include a strong internal drive to use the substance, impaired control over use, prioritizing use over other activities, and continued use despite harm or negative consequences. This often comes with urges or cravings. Physiological dependence may also occur, marked by tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, or use of the substance to prevent withdrawal. These features typically appear over 12 months but can be diagnosed if use is continuous for at least 3 months.\Psychoactive substance dependence\Alcohol dependence
