Over time, a tolerance to the drugs builds up. This means that an increasing amount is needed to achieve the same effect.
Tolerance is caused by the pathways the drug uses, and the receptors to the drugs in the body becoming less sensitive over time due to repeated use.

This came from a doctor.
What are the differences between physiological and psychological needs?
Physiological dependence = result of constant use of a drug to the point whereby the body's normal state is the drugged state, i.e. the drug is needed in order to feel normal.
