London, Canada- Addiction can happen quickly, or occur gradually spread out over a longer period of time. In the beginning addiction may seem like it is not a problem. You may start out only using with friends or at a party and it may remain like this or may find yourself beginning to use more and more. Relying on substances could even become a method used for coping. You may think you can quit when you want to, but many people addicted to substances can quit for a few days before beginning again. Unless you can keep use consistently under control and remain out of unhealthy habits, you may need help.

The toll paid by society on abuse can be seen in hospitals and emergency departments because of the direct damage substance abuse causes to a person’s health. There is also a strong link that exists between crime and drug abuse or addiction. Substances produce some type of intoxication that will alter an individual’s judgment, perception, attention, or control when they are abused. Abusing substances can lead to feelings of withdrawal. Withdrawal is an effect people experience when they cease or reduce the amount in which substances are abused. Withdrawals can be mild anxiety attacks or come in the form of seizures and hallucinations. Overdosing on substances can even result in death. As people begin to build a tolerance to their substance of choice, they grow tolerance to it and need larger amounts in order to produce the same level of intoxication.

Drug addiction can affect every aspect of an individual’s life. Performance at work or school may begin to deteriorate. An individual who is addicted to drugs may find themselves in legal trouble because of their drug use. They may also begin to isolate themselves or damage ties with friends and family. Individuals struggling with addiction are not the only ones hurt by the addiction, but friends and family members to the individual also struggle.
