It is evident that drug users typically pass through certain stages on the way to drug dependence. There are typical stages are from occasional use, then dependence, disorder, and rehabilitation. The individuals use drugs for recreation, and then take them frequently, and in social settings. They move to the stage whereby they start using drugs on a regular basis, often abandoning family and friends in favor of drug use. They become concerned about losing access to drugs.
