Answer:

behavioral

Step-by-step explanation:

Behavioral tolerance is a term in psychology often used to illustrates the drop in the effectiveness of drug usage in influencing the actual user, following a constant usage of the drug.

Hence, in this certain situation, and given that Lowell has found out that he needs more heroin to feel "alright" the correct answer is that this is an example of BEHAVIORAL tolerance.
