I highly recommend the book Uppers, Downers, All Arounders as a great intro text about psychoactive drugs. (I linked the most recent version, but older versions are still awesome and are much cheaper.)
I have a degree in "alcohol and drug studies" and studied neuropsychology of addiction a lot, and was an addictions counselor, so I've read a lot about addiction from different perspectives, bio, psych, social, spiritual.

First here is how addiction is defined by ASAM American Society of Addiction Medicine https://www.asam.org/resources/definition-of-addiction

The best book for understanding how addiction works is a text book I had called "uppers downers all arounders" https://www.amazon.com/Uppers-Downers-All-Arounders-8thEd/dp/092654439X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1GIILV43VW7UU&keywords=uppers+downers+all+arounders+8th+edition&qid=1555505562&s=gateway&sprefix=uppers+downers%2Caps%2C258&sr=8-1

Also highly recommend watching this hour and a half PBS presentation with leading neuroscience researchers on addiction which really gets into the nature of self control, behavior regulation for those who are severely addicted, and long term what people can expect with regard to recovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0lL1MN2yCs
