👉 Dependence fumes refer to the physiological and psychological effects that occur when a person regularly uses a substance, leading to a tolerance where higher doses are needed to achieve the same effect, and withdrawal symptoms when the substance is stopped or reduced. This cycle can develop rapidly with substances like opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, causing significant dependence and potentially leading to addiction. The fumes encompass both the physical dependence, such as cravings and tolerance, and the psychological dependence, including mood swings and anxiety when not using the substance. Managing dependence fumes often requires a comprehensive approach, including medical intervention, behavioral therapy, and support systems, to help individuals overcome their reliance and achieve recovery.
