When one consumes drugs , the drugs consumed tap into the brains communication system and disrupts the way nerve cells send and receive information. Along the process, the chemicals go on to stimulated what is called your “Reward Circuit” Or your “high” .This felling of being “High” is what will constantly challenge a person with substance abuse brain.
