How does repeated opioid use lead to addiction?

Answer
A
The body builds resistance and eliminates the drug effects.
B
The brain stops responding and removes the need for the drug.
C
The brain changes and increases the desire to keep using the drug.
D
The body quickly clears the drug and prevents repeated use.

Repeated opioid use can change the brain’s reward and motivation systems. These changes can make a person feel a stronger urge to keep using the drug, which contributes to addiction. The brain does not simply remove the desire for the drug, as choice D suggests.
