An addiction was an excessive dependence on particular substances or actions, with physical and psychological consequences, with two examples being drug addiction and holo-addiction. An individual with an addiction was known as an addict. (DS9: "Nor the Battle to the Strong")

The Ktarian game had addictive effects, through stimulating the pleasure centers of the brain. (TNG: "The Game")

The term could be used loosely to describe something with which one could become harmlessly obsessed. In 2374, Harry Kim described the Vulcan game kal-toh as "addictive" to Seven of Nine. (VOY: "The Omega Directive")
