Many meds are addictive substances, which means they have a chance to cause their users to develop an addictive behavior and require to keep consuming the med in question, or suffer the consequences of withdrawal.

Addictions are classed by group. Certain substances, not all of which are medical aids, may generate addictions. The chance to develop an addiction, as well as the effects of withdrawal, all depend on what kind of substance and thus, of addiction group, is involved.

Developing addictions

Each substance has an addition chance per use, which refers to the chance of developing an addiction to this substance every time one instance is consumed.

If an addiction is indeed developed, the contestant will start feeling intense cravings for the relevant substance, and will suffer from withdrawal effects as soon as the substance's effects wane off.

If an addiction has been developed, withdrawal effects can only be removed via the following methods:

Toughing it out - Withdrawal effects eventually wane away after '10d12 turns following the end of the substance's effects, but they may be crippling and even endangering.
Taking more of the addictive substance ("getting a fix") to ward away the effects of withdrawal
Getting an addiction cure at a hospital room, which costs 500 P$.

Withdrawal effects are, majoritarily, Secondary effects.
