Something's got one hooked (6)

I believe the answer is:

addict

(Other definitions for addict that I've seen before include "Person compulsively given to taking drugs" , "One is dependent on a substance" , "Person given to abusing drugs" , "Make dependent" , "Slave to a chemical substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
