Repeating the stimulus over and over gradually robs it of meaning, lessens the anxiety it causes, and makes it less likely to trigger the problem behavior. Habituation is commonly used in cognitive-behavioral therapy.The condition of being psychologically dependent on a drug, following repeated consumption, marked by a craving for the drug if it is withdrawn.The process of becoming accustomed to a stimulus as a result of frequent exposure or use.The process whereby repeated exposure to a stimulus elicits less responsiveness.Habituation is the process of getting accustomed to a particular experience. Generally, the more a person is exposed to a stimulus, the less they are impacted by it over time. People can undergo habituation to certain drugs, leading to a reduced response to their effects with repeated use.Adjustment to a circumstance.Persistent craving for and utilization of drugs without a significant escalation in dosage, and without the presence of physical dependency.
