User blog comment:Syemund/Options to translate Addict, Addicted, Addiction?/@comment-31440310-20180319164308

While you could use any of those words as options or synonyms, it's important to remember that English itself sometimes has its own perfectly usable options. In this case, I think that using the word "hooked" for most intents and purposes would work just fine. Drughooked or footballhooked would work very well and really give the idea of complete servitude to something. The general term could also be someone who is "hooked" and maybe addict could be hooked(wo)man. The other choices for addict could be used as synonyms whenever more specification is needed or when used in a very scientific context.
