3 Addiction continued.. As a person continues to abuse drugs their brain adapts to the surges of dopamine by producing less This lessens the dopamine's impact on the reward circuit The abuser does not enjoy the drugs anymore or other events that once brought pleasure The abuser keeps using drugs in an attempt to restore dopamine levels and get that euphoric feeling again However, now they must use larger amounts of the drug
