Understanding Problematic Tolerance
from Addiction & Recovery
Problematic tolerance is a phenomenon where a person needs to consume larger amounts of a substance to achieve the same effect that was previously attained with a smaller dose. This can occur with various substances, including alcohol, prescription medications, and even common items like caffeine. While developing tolerance may raise concerns about addiction, it is important to understand that tolerance does not equate to a substance use disorder, as the complexities of addiction involve compulsive use regardless of negative consequences.
