Return To Addiction FAQ Archive   Is it possible to become addicted to a drug if you have only tried it once? Answered By Editor Yes, it is possible and has been known to happen. However, in most cases, a person will not become addicted to a drug the first time they use it. With that said, highly addictive drugs such as heroin and amphetamines can create a craving even after the first use. For this reason, a person who has tried a drug once may very well wish to continue using it, thus developing and dependence and addiction. Having obsessive thoughts about the drug and creating schemes to get more of it may indicate increased addictive tendencies. It is best to view all illicit drugs as dangerous and not "experiment" with them. Once a person is addicted to a drug, the sooner you can help them get proper substance abuse treatment, the better chance that person has of beating the addiction. keywords: Addiction | Drugs | Drug Abuse | Heroin | Amphetamines | Drug Dependence Alcoholic Treatment Drug And Alcohol Rehabilitation Drug And Alcohol Treatment
