Ever wondered how drugs really mess with your brain? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' dives into the nitty-gritty of how addictive substances hijack your brain's dopamine system. When you use drugs, they flood your brain with dopamine, the feel-good chemical. But here's the kicker: over time, your brain starts to rely on these substances to get that dopamine hit, messing up its natural production.
