Addiction develops through a complex interaction of genetic, biological, psychological, environmental, and social factors. Risk can be influenced by family history, age of first exposure, stress, mental health, peer influences, and access to addictive substances or activities. The addictive potential of a substance and the frequency, dose, and duration of use also affect risk.
