Drug dependence refers to the fact that an individual can no longer function without the drug in their bodies.

They become too dependant to the drugs that they can only carry their normal responsibilities when the drug is present in their system.

He can no longer live without drugs and when he takes them he needs more of it in order to feel the same effect.
