Despite the dictionary definition of "craving" (a strong desire), two studies indicate that a substantial percentage of persons with alcohol and drug problems use the word "craving" to mean any desire or urge, even a weak one, to use substances. Researchers and clinicians are advised to beware of this ambiguity of "craving" and to consider the conceptual status of "craving" in their work.
