AB  - As  generally  understood,  drug  abuse  includes  any  illicit  use  of  a  drug  for  nonmedical  purposes,  usually  for  altering  consciousness,  but  also  for  body  building.  The  term  also  denotes  the  deliberate  use  of  chemicals  that  are  generally  not  considered  drugs  by  the  lay  public,  but  may  be  harmful  to  the  user.  Often,  the  motivation  for  drug  abuse  appears  to  be  the  anticipated  feeling  of  pleasure  derived  from  the  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  effects  of  the  drug.  If  physiologic  dependence  is  present,  preventing  a  withdrawal  or  abstinence  syndrome  reinforces  continued  drug  abuse.
